Default RE: P40-E 60 size ARF problems.

Thanks for the input. Now I am having trouble with the wing joiner. I have epoxied the joiner into one side of the wing after I drew a line indicating the halfway point where the wings will meet. I am having trouble getting the other wing to set flat with the other wing. Now that I have sanded both sides of the exposed half of the joiner so much to try to get rid of the gap, the other wing fits loosely and STILL does not set flat with the other wing.

My concern is that even if I did get the gap closed or not (by using lots of epoxy to fill this gap), any mis-alignment when I do glue the wings together could result in a poor flying performance or the wing coming apart.

By the way, I did have to cut one of the airleron servo hatches down by approx. 1/8" in order for it to fit in the bay, the found the hatch would not set flat in the bay (rails crooked). And I had to sand quite a bit for the first of the retractable landing gear structure (plastic square where the gear pivots) to fit in the wing. I think parts of the wings are not built square.

The rest of the ARF seems to be okay as far as I can tell.

Taking this into consideration, Is it in this forum where I would talk with a representative with Nitro Models about getting a replacement set of main wings and joiner?

My direct email is [email protected]

Thanks,
Bryan
