Default PT-40 Wing Kit

I want to build a second wing for my PT-40 MK II.

Trained on the "A" wing with much dihedral, now I want to go to the "B" wing with less dihedral.

As I shop for a new wing kit, I found one that is for a PT-40, but not specifically the "MK II".

My question: Is the wing kit for a PT-40 interchangeable with the wing kit for a PT-40 MK II?

Thanks in advance,

Fever

The current wing kit IS for the PT-40 Mk. II.

The wing for the original PT-40 and the wing for the PT-40 Mk. II are slightly different. However, you can likely use either as a replacement with a little fiddling on the fuselage's wing seat.

Is there also a replacement wing kit for the PT-60? I don't find it at Tower. Your website shows it as part # GPMA0632. Is it available?

The wing kit for the PT-60 has been discontinued. If you contact Part Support, you may be able to purchase ribs. You'd then be easily able to build the rest of the wing from stock wood. Even if ribs are no longer available, you can use the plans to get a rib profile so that you can cut out a set of your own. The PT-60 wing is about the easiest wing you can build.

Thank you for the reply, Bax. It's just easier with a wing kit, thats all. Making one from plans is something I've done before, and with far less equipment than I have nowadays. I expect to fubar the wing on my trainer at least once!!
