Needed: Stabs for Aeroworks edge 33%
Due to a midair incident, (not my fault) I need a set of stabs for my aeroworks edge 33% Arf. If any one has any from the arf, or the kit, I would gladly pay for them. I have not been able to call aeroworks yet, (Saturday) but will if no one has a set. I really only need the left stab, but would take the whole thing if someone has any. Thanks.

RE: Needed: Stabs for Aeroworks edge 33%
I suppose you want pics huh?
Here is the damage after landing, and of the covering cut away, and then what I have gotten fixed so far. I had to remake the bottom of the broken former.
I got to tell you though this really ticks me off! I was on the back side of a rolling circle, way out in the feild, and bam this little 40 size stick runs into on the inverted portion on the roll! At first I thought I was good and all the falling peices were his until I decided that I had to hold a lot of down, and the plane was flying funny. I'm pretty lucky though all that was holding my batteries in were the wire ties I had used on the conectors! [

Got the bottom of the fuse back together. Looks pretty good. Now all I have to do is replace the batteries, straigten the landing gear, and GET SOME STABS! Surely someone has a crashed one with a good tail section?

Brian,
sorry about your plane. The same has happened to me 2 X now. I lost the same stab and on another time lost my virtical both caused by reckless 40 size planes. Not even a sorry or whatever. I hope you get your stabs on real soon. In both cases for me I got the planes flying again after some time. You must have a cool head and got it down because it looks awesome with the work you have done so far!
Good luck,
Joe

Thanks guys for the kind words. All in all I only threw my sunglasses so not to bad. I am just glad it wasn't any worse. I have learned not to fly these anymore if there are to many other planes flying. Hopefully hekter-RCU, can hook me up with a stab, and get me flying again soon.

Ordered a stab, and elevator set today. 100 bucks plus shipping that that didn't even include the tube. Oh well just money right?
