I will take a set of wings but maybe without lef. I like simple and it seems this plane flys well without lef.why complicate things further unless you're going all out scale project-which I'm not.
Still looking for an ecu for amt450

Here is the latest vid of the composite wing build. I will post updates periodically, but in order to not hijack the thread anymore, future updates will be on my original build thread that sadly now is like two years old

I got a set from Paul Reese in 2005, unfortunately it was destroyed when we moved to our new house, these were constructed from what was left from the original set , had to redo it almost from scratch. I'm happy I could get it back to the stage it is right now.

I was thinking of taking it all apart very carefully and use the parts to create silicone molds just to be able to create spare parts in case of damage due to a hard landing or so, but gave up on the idea for the time being.
I'm not sure if Mr. Reese still make these upgrades anymore....I wish he did .

Lavi, very nice set, i hupe i can get mine to the same standard. Paul does not make them anymore, so i have decided to sit down and draw up a set to be 3d stereolithographied. Mains are ready so far, now i'm on the nose gear. Nice to see you replaced the rotating pivot just as i am planning with a ball link 
Did you make the wheel well parts yourself? What material?

Wheel bay parts are made of thin ABS sheet, Poly Ply (glas epoxy sheet) resin casts ,lithopltae... these are only half way done, missing are all the hyd lines ,wiring etc'.
All the tie down links on the struts are hand carved from of Poly Ply so are many other parts .
