I am looking at the parts packages for the Yak to replace the now well worn wing. I am trying to compare what I get with the Replacement Wing vs Refresher Package vs whole new kit. The details of the Refresher Package contents are laid out clearly on the 3DXHobbies site. But the Replacement Wing says "wing only" but I do not know what goes with that. The ailerons? The spar? The end pieces? The joiner? The photo does not show these pieces. I do not think I can rebuild a wing with what is shown in the photo only (just wing halves) trying to salvage the old ailerons, spar, and other parts. I can use tape for hinges, and buy hardware at the LHS.
Can you please specify the exact pieces that come with the replacement wing so I can decide if I can use what you send?
Also a suggestion on your wing design. The aileron servos are currently supported only by the foam wing material. I notice that the aileron will rock back and forth perhaps 5 degrees because of foam flex, maybe more under load. When I rebuild the wing, I am going to put support inside the wing attached to the spar for the servos to reduce or eliminate this rock. I am not sure what difference this will make, but in the heli world, we work to remove all sources of servo/pushrod movement or "slop" to increase precision, and this movement caught my eye.
Thanks.
