More wing pics.

I couldn't remember what mine looked like so I went out and took some pics, it is worse than I thought, oh well, to late for me to complain to MRC. I just fly it the way it is, trims are perfect, flaps work great, but I guess from what I have read, this is a known issue and still is.

Do you think MRC is going to let you send it back or did you ask for new wings?

Yours are still better than mine. I have know idea what Mrc will say but the proof is in the pics. I took and placed the jet in the garage but by the looks of it it will take more than the warranty time just to get the curve out of the wing tips.

Port wing is warped also but not as bad as the starboard and the center flaps won’t seat because it’s warped on the wing. Both ailerons are warped. I’ve never seen it this bad though.

Yeah that thing looks rough, I would try strapping it to a board or something like that like fhhuber suggested.

Mine were perfect...they will have you new ones before you know it.

Mine are the same way and so was my buddies, it was just the ailerons on ours, is your wing warped too?, that could be a problem, if not fly it the way it is, doesn't seem be an issue with trim or at least our's flew straight.

Was hoping to fly in the morning also. Oh well I opened a ticket with Mrc.

make cradles and strap it to a door core then leave it in a hot garage a couple of days. You can pull the warp out.

Actually, letting it sit at room temperature for a week or two it should straighten out.

EPO bends and reshapes easily when its warm, but its a memory foam that returns to the molded shape if given time without stress to prevent it.

The rudder of my Dynam Tiger moth was bent like a Pringles chip because something was resting on it in my trailer. I set the plane on the workbench and a week later the rudder was straight.

Ouch! That's bad :(

[Helmsman52]

I just received my ME-262 and my question is... how warped were your wings?


I have never seen anything this bad before.

Here in AZ we only have two seasons; fly all day (Oct-Mar), and get your butt out there at 5am and go home at 9am before it hits 100° (Apr-Sep). :)

[rifleman_btx]

There's a season???:Confused:

There are 4, jet season, helicopter season, warbird season and 3D season :) add in fpv season for good measure as well.LOL

You're going to love it Paul! With the improved power system it has now it flies great. But, it's not a bank and yank plane, go easy on elevator input or it will snap, even at speed. I had mine out a couple weekends ago for some flights, still a crowd pleaser!

Great flying plane and looks stunning in the air.

Exactly what he said..:Cool: I bought one just because, didn't plan on keeping it at all but once I put it together and flew it, that changed my mind real quick, flies and sounds great, takes off and lands great too, can't get any better than that.

I bet! I swear this will be the last jet I buy the season! :Straight-Face::Silly:

I'm really digging the new livery and up grades to this awesome Jet. Keep us informed when it available I hope soon. Goose:P:Cool:

Me to, and I just bought one of the old styles (upgraded power system) a few months ago:Straight-Face:
