Why did you not make the stabs removable? Is that a ca hinge? If so no good for a gasser. Is this electric only?

Removable stabs on this size airframe just add unnecessary weight in the tail which is difficult to overcome with most of the available engines today. From the pictures they posted I see nothing resembling a CA hinge being used.

Looks different than most stab/elevator attachments that I've seen, pic taken from a build thread in Germany. http://www.rc-network.de/forum/showt...ahrungsbericht

That's intriguing. Does seem to be removable. The hinges in the pics seem to be flat pin type. I still think in this size bird proper Dubro pin style hinges such as these would be best.

Looks like pin hinges on ailerons/elevator and flat hinges on the rudder, typical equipment for a gasoline airplane. I see nothing wrong with this, the flat hinges are necessary on the rudder to allow it to be removed

Hello,

I am writing here to say that I am not happy. I ordered a Skywing Slick 360 61 "on letsflymodel.it but the rudder was broken in the cardboard I posted the problem Skywing Jinwei on Facebook via messenger I was asked to contact BestValue RC to order a drift, but after two contact requests I did not get an answer. I tried to reconnect Skywing Jinwei but he did not answer me anymore.

Be careful if you broke parts you will have problems for the spare parts.

I guess you can get spare parts from modellmarkt24.ch. He has many spareparts in europe from Skywing.

Its not fair to post in every forum you find that warning. Its the same with big brands zoo. I tried to order a spare landing gear of my 3dhs edge92, not possible in europe.

I love my Skywing Slicks. Both 61 and 73 are great, For me the 61 is the best 3D plane on the market if you are looking for agressive Low3D/XA at the same time. The 73 is in the same class as the 3dhs Exta75 and AJ Laser73. I couldn' say which one I like the most of those 3. I have hundrets of any of those 3. The Slick73 is the most agressive of them. The other 2 a bit better in precision. But diffrencies are small, it could be me and the 3 setups.
