I have replaced the wing on my 310 with a tower offered wing as well.
When your wing arrives check the fit as they are joined.
Mine were very tight sliding on the joining tubes.
This was not a problem as I don't remove the wing for transport.
But, If I did it would be a major issue.
Also I noticed the new wing had a better choice of wood in it.
For this reason I did not mod the wing.
And so for no problems.
Good Luck.

This look like a good way to open and close the gear doors on the Cessna 310!!
Take a look and see what you think!!

Unfortunately the "lower nacelle covers" are not sold (and they are not included when you buy new nacelles or a set of wings).
The only thing that you could do is to make a mold from the other one to create a new one.

Status: offline 		Does everybody think that reinforcing the wing is essential? I am ready to maiden my 310 but I am nervous about it. I wonder if there are more people who have made the modification or more people who have flown it successfully without reinforcement. I sure would appreciate hearing.

Status: offline 		Hi Guys,
Well after months of putting it off, the gear doors are in and working like a dream!!! It is so sweet to see the main gear open, and the gear go in and 3 sec later the gear doors close. Flip the gear switch down, the doors open and out come the gear, 3 sec later the doors close back. One thing I did find out, if the door tank leak air, the main gears will kick the doors open!!!
Looks like the full scale on take-off!!!

With 2 air tank and a 6v battery for the receiver, my 310 tip the scale at 22.2 lbs ready to fly. Now the next mod I will do is the rods in the wings like people had done in this thread. As you may can tell, this bird has yet to be maiden, but that will be done this year!!
