GP AT-6 Texan ARF WINGS needed
Thw subject says it all. I crashed my Great Planes 40 sized AT-6 Texan (Why they call it a AT-6 and then put Navy decal on I don't know) and destroyed the 59.8 inch wingspan wings. Tower sells them for a hundred dollars!! without wing tips but have been on backorder for months. Does anyone have wings they aren't using ( 
) or maybe plans?

You can buy the complete ARF for a few dollars more and have all of the rest of the parts. Or better yet, get the new one and use all components from the old one and keep the old one for parts.

Not sure about being able to buy a new one anymore: it appears unfortunately that they have been discontinued. Altho Tower still lists parts, they no longer list the complete kit (ARF).
I have a completed spare wing (assembled, ready for retracts and radio gear), and would let it go for about 1/2 the cost of a new one (as in: $50 FIRM).
Problem is shipping, especially since it is assembled. If all else fails, drop me an e-mail and I'll see if we can work something out.
I'll be traveling to western Kentucky (from SW Michigan, along U.S. 41) around Memorial Day, and attending the Terre Haute, IN Warbird Day event along the way.
Yeh, making an SNJ and calling it an AT-6: Top Flite anf Kyosho (and others?) do the same thing. And then there's the new 'Nitro Planes' AT-6, which from the pictures appears to have the US Navy/ SNJ scheme but with post war USAF markings.
I like the SNJ/ yellow wings and aluminum fuselage scheme tho, makes it real easy to keep track of it. A real break form my blue Corsairs.
