Default Facet wings

I am trying to find out if there is any way to buy a set of wings for my Facet 2300. My set was stolen out of my trailer along with some other things. If any one knows any thing about this subject please let my know.

Contact Kerry Sterner AKA Vampire here on RCU, he can supply you with the wings or direct you to one of his dealers who may have them.

Seminole.............. GET the swept wings for the Facet, . uses same wing tubes and same wing location, just move the CG back 1 inch and the landing gear back 1 inch......... flies faster and lands slower.

Seminole_3D , I just sent you a PM about a set of Facet 2300 swept wings.

I have a set I have been flying on mine for several months. I like them so much that I just sold my original straight wings.

well, what anyone wants to think, the Facet 2300 is a GREAT flying turbine, sure she is not scale, but I have a blast flying the facet 2300, I just wish I had time to work on the swept wings. they are sitting in the corner Maybe I'll ship them to Grbaker for a quick build.

Mark,
Rob was referring to me on his comment. The original owners had given it that name and I think had some 700 flights on it....not joking 700 including 3 engine rebuilds. Everyone at the field loved that airplane. It may not have had the most appealing lines but that was the most wonderful flying plane and anyone that would snicker at the looks and then got to fly it immediately stopped. The Facet 2300 is just an awesome airplane. I think 5 or maybe 6 guys got their waiver flying that plane already.
Can't wait to see it with some swept wings.

Blackcloud, No problem....... yes i do agree it is a great aircraft, I have flown it off of very rough fields and some very smooth asphalt. I bought my from Kerry Sterner himself. I fly the one he use to fly all over. I have been to his shop, he lives about an hour away from me, and I got to see the NEW Facet 1700RG . the 1700 RG is a mid size 18lb turbine swept wing and retracts. very cool set up, I was hoping to have one in the air by now, but with kerry running Simjet Usa, I think it will be over the winter when the new kit is ready to go

hmm 1700 sounds ripe for a P-70 or 22lb Falcon for superboost
