Wing bags
Where should I go to get wings bags for my H9 Sukhoi? I found a nice one at Tower hobbies but it's not available til late July, which means September or later. I want a single bag for both wings.
Thanks, Todd

RE: Wing bags
Hanger 9 makes a set of padded wing bags for the A/C. I use these bags on my other A/C. They only cost $70. You get stab, rudder and wing bags made for that plane.

RE: Wing bags
I have the Medium Wingtote bags for both my H9 Extra and Sukhoi; I like them, but you will have to wait to get them from Tower. I guess the other company would be fine, never used there products, but a wingbag is a wingbag IMO..

RE: Wing bags
I have a wing tote, the medium size which I think is 72", I love it. It was only like $40 or so. I went to look for one for my new Funtana 90 and it's going to cost me like $25 more! Why?? It's a 2 piece wing!!!! HELLO, LESS MATERIAL=LESS LABOR=LOWER PRICE????

RE: Wing bags
Will the small Wing Tote bag fit a Soucy Extra and the W.M. Extra ? On both models the wing halves are roughly 37" in length. The price sure is better at 50.00 through Tower when they get them in stock.

RE: Wing bags
Your going to find the more you look at wing tote the more you will see that they are always on back order, I had to wait almost months to get my set then gave up and bought from Mike at RCWingbags.com. Mike is a great guy and builds fantastic bags. I know he is so swamped right now the poor guy wasnt expecting his product to take off so quickly and at this point you will have to wait a little bit to get your bags but at least Mike will tell you that up front and is much easier to get a hold of. The man loves to talk on the phone and I find that a plus in this hobby when your looking to purchase from their business.

RE: Wing bags
Mike can do all kinds of colors to match your airplane etc as well so your not stuck with a one type of bag. He also has just added the Double Bag that will combine your two wing backs into one package.

RE: Wing bags
[link=http://www.airwildhobbies.com]Air Wild Hobbies[/link] make a sweet bag, but the cost a bit more. The Wing Totes are very nice and that is what I have. I can get them directly from my LHS. They always seem to have all sizes and configurations in stock.

RE: Wing bags
Hello RC Enthusiasts and fellow pilots!!
My name is Perry Prescott and I am the President of WTI Designs.
You may know one of our brands; WING TOTE. I wanted to first state that this post is in no way a sales pitch or plug for my company or product lines, but after many hits from recent forums, I feel compelled to address this forum. So if I offend either the moderator or customers or for that fact, competitors, I apologize in advance.
As you may know, we founded WING TOTE over two years ago from our own passion surrounding big RC planes and protection for the wing panels. We actually did not even find our competition in advance to the business model development. From the beginning, we set out to provide the best quality and valued carrying bags for RC products and sell through the largest distributors to get into every Hobby store, where the consumers could readily purchase these bags. All of our designs came from our own research and our own sizing of wing panels, and this is apparent in our designs. There are no other bags like the WING TOTE bags! We rapidly moved in to RC cars and accessories as we were asked by consumers and distributors alike. We have been fortunate to have become the leading bag manufacture in the RC industry for planes and cars, as we have been told by our distributors, and our sales validate this. We have also become the leading supplier in third party nylon goods for many other manufactures. For all of this I am grateful! I will also say that we have had growing pains, to say the least, but through all of this, we have never copied a designs or offered negative feedback to our competition or others, and we will not in the future!
As of recent, there has been allot of discussion on the RCU forums regarding wingtote and wingbags in general. I will say that I have been disappointed in much of the negativity in that several comments that have been made, I have followed up to see what the problem was and if we could resolved. In several cases, I found that the person complaining about issues, was, to the contrary, indeed satisfied and even ordered more products from us. I do not understand how a complaint can be offered on these forums, but ok when we offer to solve a problem. I again, admit, we have had problems with our supply chain form Asia and as of April 2004, moved our production back to Seattle Washington, with our own sewers and support staff as we once did in our beginning. We have also offered a 2 weeks or its free guarantee for retail orders to keep our deliveries on time. We have also offered incentives and promo items to keep our customers engaged and satisfied with us. Recent threads have been posted regarding wing bag choices and this is a free market and this is the beautiful this we experience in the US. Many comments have been coming from parties tied to our competition and I believe that this is wrong! A company should stand on its own merits or failures and not negative and false propoganda from others. I will also say that last month, I posted a letter to our customers inviting comments and direct calls to myself, and all of the feedback we received was positive, with no negativity. Again, for this I am grateful, but do not understand why we cannot have a direct dialog with some of our customers or potential customers directly, verses the forum approach. I understand that the forum is a community space to discuss, critique', complain and praise, but I would invite these same comments to come to us as well so we can resolve issues and head off problems verses many of the comments that are posted. Again, I invite any and all to contact me directly for open discussions to any topics. Our company goal is to still be the leader in Hobby nylon goods, customer service and new product development to enhance and protect your models and pride-full work. Additionally, we have not and will not replicate, modify or reclaim others designs, ideas or pricing models, but will use our own ideas, market research and designs to service this small niche market but see that others do not operate the same way.
So after all of this, I will say, we started with this niche and unique design for our own products and not based on others designs to service an un-utilized market. We have done this, and I might say, well. I ask that you consider speaking with me directly at 253-891-9469 or [email protected] to discuss any matter so we can help with decisions, ideas or orders, indeed this is why we are in business. You have choices, and we believe that we offer the best brand, bill of materials, price, availability and service. There is competition and as they grow, will experience their own monsters, but the growth, problems and how they are solved is also the best way to judge a company, team or individual. So, come guys,(gals) call us if you have a question, problem or other matter, so we can work with you to resolve. Give us a chance, we have worked hard to get these bags to you and know once you try this brand, will be impressed and with the 2 week guarantee, are covered from long fill rate times.
Oh ya, keep on eye out for our new bag lines for Heli's and Jets as well as WING TOTE Lite, half the price of the WING TOTE line and in colors and different closure choices and one more item, the Weather Guard, a water proof and heat reflective cover in three sizes. Announcements in Mid July 2004. We also will have a new customer comment forum for wing bag questions and facts next month at www.wingtote.com
Thank you for your read and continued business, we are the little guy, help keep us at the top with the best bags ever designs and priced for the RC enthusiast!!

You can order the wingtotes directly from the company. I considered those, and the wingbags.com for my GP Patty. I ended up buying the wingtote. My decisions was based on price since I hadn't seen either first hand, and I didn't want to spend a lot on wingbags for this size plane. I ordered them directly, and got them within a week. I also got free prop covers. The bag is very well made, no complaints.
I also agree that when I was getting information from Mike at wingbags.com, he was quick with replies and very professional. I WILL order a set from wingbags.com for my 1/3 scale next year, and can then compare the quality of each.
I don't think you will be disappointed with either product.

RE: Wing bags
Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. After reading them all and digesting the info I called Perry at Wingtote. That was me that ordered two bags yesterday, Perry. They were in stock and should be here soon. I'll report back then. So far I'm happy with Wingtote's service and price.
Later, Todd
Later, Todd
