Customer Service is one of their strong points.<br /><br />If push comes to shove you can make your own. Measure the distance into the wing, the height, and the width at the joiner opening. The challenge would be getting the dihedral angle right. I would tape the wing halves together and pencil out the dihedral, then make a plywood joiner based on those dimensions: Lenght, Width, Height and angle. That and liberal epoxy, as well as letting the whole thing cure while installed on the fuse should do you well. What you want the joiner to do is keep wing forces transmitted across the whole wing, and if its solid, be it epoxy or close fitting wood, you'll be alright.<br /><br />Enjoy this plane, its my absolute favorite!

I called Horizon and they can't help me until next week, if at all as those joiners are not available separately. I would be happy to make my own, but all I need is a template, which they say they do not have. Anyone have a template or a suggestion?

Not sure I'll hide one in there... was looking for something cldver, but I don't have anything. I used to have Jack-Jack from The Incredibles, but he was in the MX2 that caught on fire and I don't know what happened to him after that. He might still be in that canopy. my friend Ron has that plane and is working on rebuilding it.<br /><br />If I find something I might put it in the canopy.Ken Schroeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792686126519801598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973001257469712096.post-10007435634667362612011-10-11T22:29:10.553-05:002011-10-11T22:29:10.553-05:00Nikki, the little pilots are on facebook lamenting...Nikki, the little pilots are on facebook lamenting about how the giants are building bigger better faster more capable airplanes that seem to fly themselves... :)Al Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101596254334511295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973001257469712096.post-25236383629767709682011-10-11T21:46:17.461-05:002011-10-11T21:46:17.461-05:00I saw the sparks and the first thing I thought was...I saw the sparks and the first thing I thought was-- OMG are you doing that on white carpet?
