Default Goldberg Tiger 2 Replacement Wing

I have a complete Tiger 2 fuse that I was given when I purchased a Tiger 60 kit from a club member. With the Tiger 2 being out of stock everywhere and possibly extinct I was hoping to find a similiar wing that I could fit to the Tiger 2 with some minor modifications. Does anyone know of a wing from another aircraft that might fit the Tiger 2's wing saddle? The length of the chord at the center of the wing is approximately 12 inches if that helps. Some options that initially came to mind were either a Great Planes Cherokee or a Sig 4 Star 40.

From a little bit of research I've done, two possible matches in terms of span and area are the Phoenix Models Dolphin and the Tower Voyager. Does anyone have and exact measurement of the chord length on either of these wings? Rough calculations yielded number that look like they would work but if anyone could actually take a measurement of your wing it would appreciated!

Thanks! My calculations showed that the Voyager wing might be about 1.5 inches short. I was thinking I might be able to modify the wing saddle if I had to, but if it's not even close then I won't bother.

How about This? http://www.texasrcplanes.com/lonestar50lw.html Looks like a Chinese knockoff of the tiger 2. I might have to buy it

Find someone who has built the Tiger2- 60, take the plans from him and build the wing yourself. That way you can control what you want in terms of build quality. The tiger wing does not have a taper /sweep etc so as long as you can find one section, you can build it from that.

FYI, Phoenix models also has a Tiger 60 but I dont know what the chord is. I have the Phoenix Tiger 40

BTW, I think that supply problems from the chinese companies building the CG planes have caused availability issues, otherwise CG Tigers were best sellers
