This is sorta like the case of the missing sock. You have a right sock that's only 3 weeks old (but washed) and the left...man it's gone. I have the same issue with airplane wings. I have 2 wings to Kraft Kwik Flies (the seller insisted I take them with the plane), a Top Flight ME 109 wing, and various others, both built up and foam that have no fuselages. Any ideas?

Bonfire?

Build a biplane?? Tri-plane??? </p>

oh yeah, Franken-plane for sure.. or pass them on to another refitter !


Oh man, I must add this ...DIP THEM IN RANCH OR BLEU CHEESE...

Depending on the size of them, you could put them all on the same fuselage and make some sort of weird tri-wing plane...

It'd make an interesting target...

You could probably buy a fuse for the ME-109 from Top Flite as a spare part and have a cheap plane, and possibly the others too. Since you have two of the same for the Kwik Flies I'd be tempted to go the franken-plane route with them and do something bizarre like a canard bipe pusher or something... but that's just me. Hmmm that'd look look a bit like a Star Wars X Wing fighter that someone'd stood on.

Stick an engine on it and make a flying wing.

I like the Bon Fire comment, however be careful with the foam wings, they may be toxic when they burn. Find the plans for them and build fuselages to match. Good Luck, Dave

A piece of gutter pipe and a coroplast tail. It might fly, and it might not. But it'll be funny either way.

Any idea what to do with extra wings? Yes, attach to extra fuselages!

Stick type fuselages are very easy to build, I too vote for Frankenplane.

Mike, it is funny that you should mention that. Every fall our club has a "closing" the field day, where people get their last flight of the season in and thier is a bonfire, food, etc. The pictures of that are published in our monthly newsletter. Somehow someone from the local EPA saw a picture of a plane burning with the black smoke coming up, and wrote us and told us, that we can't do that anymore, go figure.

An extra wing is like spare parts. No real reason to hang on to it but shortly after giving it to the garbage man, you wish you hadn't.

A couple of years ago I had an aileron servo fail fully deflected during the takeoff of my Taurus. I was able to fly it with rudder and the other aileron but failed to notice(during the panic) that the airplane was headed for a big pine tree. The short of the story is that all that was left, not in toothpick sizes, was the fuse. Onto a cabinet top in my garage it went as I could not bring myself to trash it. I had bought it at a swap meet from an 80 year old man who could no longer see well enough to fly it. A little over a year ago a club member was flying his old Taurus. He had bought his at a swap meet in Ocala, FL from another older man getting rid of all his stuff. My club buddy did a three-turn spin from a two-turn altitude and crashed it. His wing was all that was left reasonably intact. His wing, my fuse and a tail section from Home and Hobby Solutions made another airplane. It is still a great flying old plane from the 1960s. So there, save them and one of these days they may fly again

As mentioned before, a simple square fuselage is a good solution.

Building an Ugly Stick type fuselage is really simple. And the tail is simpler still.

Here you have a plan for the Kraft Kwik Fly, as a reference if you decide to build-bash one or two around your wings:
