Im after the wings for the above rc plane and theyre now deleted from stock anywhere, so if anyones got a set they want to sell, or the whole plane?

Buy some depron, cut to shape, glue to top of plane.

probably time to find a new plane! at least that was always my excuse!
you could build one, i loved making profile jets as can be seen here:

i made a 3D F-14 and numerous others. And very easy to fly too.

HA HA, having read thru the site it would seem they liked my own design one too!

oh right, didnt think of making a wing, would like a pattern of the original to make from though, but well worth bearing in mind. thanks

i know hobbystores used to stock a lot of spare wings for cubs, how ever i am not promoting that useless chain of shops, prehaps worth a call though.

cheers wideboy, have spoken with my local hobbystores in chelmsford today about some parts. Unfortunately the wing is no longer available, so its a case of finding new, old stock.

Have found some in weymouth, but they wont post, and I dont fancy an 8 hour round trip for a £10 wing

New plane would be nice, but want to practice with this cheapie one and crash this before a nice new one

Making a correctly profiled wing from depron would be a challenge, but doable. Glue a few sheets together and get the sander out.

Or you can do the whole skeleton thing (which is overkill) which I did for my B25 custom build ...

IIRC the phase 3 cub is EPP not depron, i had a phase 3 fantom and it was EPP

but the homo that is fallout has the correct idea if its to be made from depron

Doesn't really matter what the rest of it is made out of.

If the deprons too heavy that's just an excuse to get a bigger motor.

it does, EPP absorbs impact much better that depron hence a lot of park flyers being made of it, depron is too brittle in comparison.
