I received mine with broken ribs in both wing panels. I have read other threads showing the same problem. Is Horizon replacing them or do I repair them? Thanks John

Default US 60 Wing Damage

Go back to where you purchased the plane and ask for a new wing. I bought mine from Chief Aircraft and they were happy to replace it. I read somewhere that Horizon Hobby plans to repackage the plane to avoid damage.

I've been flying mine for over a year with a Saito FA-100. Only one rib was broken and it did not appear to be a structural problem at the time I assembled the model. I flew it for over 6 months with the broken rib. I then contacted Horizon and requested some Ultracoat Transparent Yellow so I could repair the rib myself. They sent me an entire role for free, no questions asked. I sliced out the covering between the 2 ribs, CA'd the broken pieces together, and recovered it. If you look carefully you can see that it had been repaired but you have to look real close. Since I repaired the wing I've flown it an additional 9 months.

Default Broken Ribs

I just completed one and it arrived with a busted rib also. I went ahead and made the repair.

Mine arrived with a minor break in one rib in one wing. I contacted Horizon direct, told them where I purchased the plane and what was wrong. They said they were having problems with some of the wings being broke and they would ship me a new set. One week later I had a brand new set of wings.
I have always had excellent service from Horizon, give them a call.
