New 1/3 scale PIPER PAWNEE from Hangar 9

Hey Mark, Andy,

Do either of you have any pictures? I assume you are talking about the fittings under the plastic covers on the wing? I have not had an issue yet, and hope I dont !!

Thanks for posting, good to know

I don't have any pictures. The plane is still packed in the trailer. Yes it is the fitting under the cover at the wing end of the strut. Being cast it won't take being bent. I drilled two holes in the strut and lashed around the bolt with 100 pound pull/pull cable. Saved the day but I will be making a permanent repair in a couple of weeks. We ordered a new set to use until I can make some fittings. I have a couple of ideas, just need to get a look at it.

I was pretty disappointed that it wasn't a good aircraft grade aluminium.

Naturally it happened when I was packing for my first organized aero tow event
