Hi,
I got the replacment Galactika Top wing today from Oxai/Hui Yang Professional F3A.
It had survived the transportation to me and this time the tips of the top wing was very well padded and no damage on the top wing.
The weight of the new Top wing is 181 gram.
My original Top wing that was shipped with the plane last year had a weight of 150 gram before my repair and after the repair I made weight is 171 gram.
The Top wing that I first got as spare part that had crushed tips has a weight of 203.5 gram.
So the latest Top wing is 31 gram heavier then my original Top wing (before my repair of original Top wing).
I will have to live with that and accept the latest spare part Top wing. I will have to try to make Galactika lighter by changing servos. ESC, flight battery so I can get the weight down to more reasonable level (not just because of heavier Top wing) - it barely make the 5000 gram limit today and with the new Top wing it will not.

My hat off to Noel Barret for the contact with Oxai and I want to point out that Hui Yang Professional F3A send the new Top wing I received today without any charge whatsoever and that really show that they stand behind their products and really want customers to be satisfied.
However I think Hui Yang Professional F3A could improve some on more even weight on various parts like the Top wing in this case and also be more even in quality/finish on the spare parts they produce. My original Top wing was very light and had outstanding finish, the first spare part wing is too heavy and is not so good build/finish quality, the second Top wing I got today is still litle too heavy in my opionion but the finish was about the same as original Top wing has so that was fine.

The build/finish quality of the "heavy" (203.5 gram) Top wing with crushed tips is not that impressive, I let the photos 7-9 below speak for themselves.

Photo 1: The new Top wing that arrived today Sept 8 was well padded on the tips.
Photo 2 and 3: The previous heavy 203.5 gram spare part Top wing crushed tips.
Photo 4: The new Top wing that arrived today Sept 8, weight 181 gram.
Photo 5: The old heavy spare part 203.5 gram Top wing.
Photo 6: The original Top wing (after my repair) 171 gram (weight was before the repair 150 gram).
Photo 7-9: Build/finish quality of the heavy 203.5 gram Top wing.
