I thought about the wings when I was building my own, but I just do not know enough about building to take any chances. I have heard from people that say that if you want a great 1/5 scale SE5 that you should buy the FunAero, I did purchase thier Albatros DIII, for almost twice the price, and half the hardware, no decals, control rods, hinges, and spotty instruction manual. It is a good kit though, and I look forward to flying it (almost finished) but for 119.00 I think the Dynaflite is a winner.
