Hey Mike, thanks for the input. I thought about just gluing the wings back together but I really like to take them off for transport so I'm saving that as a last resort. One thing I am considering but don't know if it will work is gluing the brass insert to the base of the anchor and then when that dries, make a form out of cardboard and pour JB weld into that, like pouring concrete into a form, and when that dries, sand off the cardboard and any rough areas. Not sure how strong that would be or if it would work.

motorc,
Check the following link to Motion RC. Are these the parts you are looking for?
These are "In Stock", though the web-page says only 1 set left.
Good Luck.
Best, LB

Do this as many times as needed in order to "pull' or "pry" off small pieces a bit at a time without damaging the foam underneath.
You'll be fine.
The glue can be pulled off with your fingers and mineral spirits will dissolve it enough to remove the residue.

motorc, Yeppers, that is a good plan. In my experience with the adhesive, it will release fairly easily once you get started. Cleans up well. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Motion has that in stock in the USA. Perhaps you could pay a little extra to have a couple mailed to you. Or, you could get a couple of these from RC Castle:
freewing 17g metal gear servo with 100mm lead reverse servo freewing 17g metal gear servo with 100mm lead reverse freewing stinger 90mm edf jet freewing 17g metal gear servo with 100mm lead reverse freewing eurofighter 90mm edf jet freewing 17g metal gea
The lead is a bit short but I'm sure you could get a short extension.
If the above doesn't suit you, in that link you put up for the stock servo, you should have seen all the specs for it. From those specs, you should be able to get the same in any other brand. You mentioned HobbyKing. They also give specs for all their servos. However, if you are willing to go with HobbyKing, why not just go with the stock one from Motion.com or RC Castle?

Finally after flying this model for a while and being comfortable with it got around and did the weathering.
Now in the process of 3D printing in LW-ASA some high quality armament for the baby :)
I love doing a nice wide turn into a long final approach maintaining a nice flare for a perfect landing :D
Question: Did anybody manage to replace the led's on the model?
On my scale helicopter builds and composite plane builds I am using a UniLight light system with very strong leds that are even well visible at daytime and look Fabolous in the evening.
I am wondering how much effort would be to redo the leds?
The big question mark is the wiring of the wings with the JST connector; which ones are LED ones and if they are on seperate ground?

Secondly, It has been a while since I had mine apart, but if you'll look at the wing root, there's a plastic connector for the wing to fuselage electrics.
It will unscrew from the plastic holder. Remove the Plastic holder and look at the Connectors.
Any two (2) wire lead that is connected is an LED light.
Hope this helps.
