Does anyone have a left wing from one that may have wrecked just laying around? I pulled my wings down the other day to look at something and found a mouse had got into the left wing and ate a rib. Damned thing chewed from the main spar back both the top and bottom of the rib. Taking the covering off to repair this will be a PITA since the green overlaps the white on top and the bottom is checkerboard. If I can't find a spare wing, I guess I will just have to rip it apart to replace it.
BTW, the mice are now DEAD. Amazing how quickly they eat those little rodent bags and go belly up. Little *******s also got on my workbench and chewed into a new set of Ailerons for my LT-40.

Did you get your Xtra fixed and fly?
I flew mine week ago and love it. Had hard landing (pilot error) waiting for motor mount.

Not yet, ground is too soft even though the weather is getting nice, so no flying yet. I am even wondering if I need to replace it, its solid from the spar forward and the rear spar back. Its just soft in the middle. Its the second rib from the end that little F'r chewed up. I can make a piece to replace it, but then have to open the covering up to do it, and that I am not looking forward to.
