This is a good question. I will shoot him an e-mail and see. I just assumed that he would make them for all sizes.

Main Wing
Anyone got a completed main wing they want to get rid of? it would save me having to build another one. I have a set for my son's Q200, but my Tri-Q needs a new one now also. Let me know please.
