Hello Jet Jocks,

I have a AV8R that had a bad wet start. The stab and rudders were burned off in the explosion. The rest of the plane is intact and the fuse under the tail is solid. The AV8R had a foam, balsa, carbon fiber tail feathers. I'd like to get these parts to repair this jet. Does anyone have these parts or know where to buy them?

I have check FLYPCM which used to be the manufacturers website. But, it is not a valid site. Anyone know what happened to PCM models?

Thanks,
DW_Crash

Ronnie,

DO you know how to contact Patrick over at BVM, his home email or home phone number?

I'd really like to see if I could get him to make the 3 parts for my AV8R.

Thanks,

Is it not a simple wood/foam plane? I'm sure one of the modellers with scratch building skills (try one of the older guys) could help you make some bits from scratch.

I built a smaller version of the DV8R from scratch, it's not as hard as you think. - John.

The tail parts should be pretty easy to make again if you have the plans, or actually the computer drawings, that Pat put in the kit. You could scale up the drawing and build new parts from it. I think www.flypcm.com is dead and burried. I've seen lots of questions posted over at rcscalebuilder go unanswered.

If someone sends me the plans I can make parts on my CNC Router for you guys.

Dave, try contacting Wayne Beasley just outside of Edmonton (he works at Great Hobbies). He's got an AV8R that's almost finished, and could probably help you with making a new set for yours. I know he's kit bashed / modified it a fare bit, so he may have some of the exact parts you need, unused and without a home...

Here's some info that may help - dimensions from my AV8R plus a few build photo's.

Correct-o-mundo Dave, I have a pair of vertical fins unused. The stab is a half inch flat plate and would be pretty easy to build up....

Thanks Guys.

Thanks Wayne22, I will sure be able to use the rudders. I just need to find a stab. The original is foam and fibre core sheeted with balsa. I might be able to make one out of just balsa. Build a frame and sheet with balsa. Any thought on whether this would be strong enough?

Guys,

Thanks for the Help. With assistance from Pat and Wayne, I should be able to rebuild the AV8R.

I learned a good lesson, fule siphons. I did not close the manual fuel valve while I did some adjustments. Fuel siphoned into the engine and KABOOM on the next start. Always cut the fuel flow off, You never know were it may go!!!!

Thanks,
