100cc 260 Wing tubes
In the past few months I have seen and heard of stock wing tubes bending. There is an issue! The response to the 150cc issue's were well reported from aeroworks, but I have not seen any about the resent 100cc issue's. I am looking to get another 100cc aeroworks , however at this point with the tube issue, I have decided to hold off. Would someone please shine some light on this? I have bent (1) tube seen (5) others and heard of (3) more.

My 3 year old 260's was bent within 6 months. Just fly IMAC with it. No blenders or walls/parachutes.

I beat the crap out of my aeroworks 260 100cc for 2 years and over 600 flights. Countless walls, snaps, blenders at high speeds and the wing tube never bent.

Re: 100cc 260 Wing tubes
Mine was bought 6 months ago and all the other tubes i've seen bent so far are about the same age. I bet that they have a bad batch of tubes. The point is I know they have some bad tubes. The question is when will they let those of you who don't know, know it. The old tubes are fine. After I bent my stock tube,that came with the plane. I was able to get ahold of an older tube and MY problem was fixed. However there has been no Notice sent out by aeroworks to warn that they may have some bad tubes that may have been sent out. Before you ask let me also state that all the tubes i've seen bending were done by IMAC pilots flying in basic and sportsman class.

Re: 100cc 260 Wing tubes
Put a Carden tube in the plane and be done. the tube and sleeve I believe are the same.
If it's a 40% Aeroworks. A Friend of mine took a set of AeroWorks wings and put on his carden. I have a old set of 40% Edge wing core set of AW. Also comes with tube and outer sleeve. I could check it in my 40% Carden Extra 330, Iv'e had the wing kit like for 7 yrs or more. Mainly because my son has a 40% 540 Edge that was the second run when Carden come out with them. I was going to do another set of wings tappered and pull the ailerons in board more for Ryan. |
