Hello All,

Just spoke with Diane at Gator R/C and found out that her house and shop were demolished Sunday by a Tornado. My thoughts and condolences go out to them. She doesn't know how long it will be before she is back up could be months if ever. Just thought I'd pass the word.

Sad to hear. They certainly have had terrible luck. Didn't they have a bad fire a couple of years ago? Mike

Yeah Mike i called them today to see if they would have a booth at the Toledo Show. And She said thay have only been in the house for 5 months. Does'nt know if they will reopen Gator R/C but said to call in a few months and they would have a better idea.

I believer Gator is slowly getting back on their feet.
If you call Central Hobbies I think the wing adjusters are available again as well as some other items.

Hello.
Modelltechnik-Lorenz in Germany has wing and tailplane adjusters.
Different design to Gator's, but same functionality.

http://www.f3alorenz.de/

Go to Accessories (German language) and look for Anstellwinkelverstellung. (Picture beside the spinners)
Product code p-ewd, 14.50 Euro for one pair of wing and tail adjusters.
