I received aircraft Hobbyking Bixler EPO 1400mm. During packing the aircraft was damaged. The tip of the wing was very much bent. please help me find wings for my Bixler. I really need the reference to "native" wings or their equivalents. I hope very much for your help. Please help.

There are no replacement Bixler wings currently listed.

Suggest you try steaming the bend out of the tip. This method generally works quite well on dents and bends in foam due to packaging & shipment damage.

Don't let then get away with it though - get stuck in for a replacement.

Otherwise you might have to get another kit for spares. This is Hobby Kings own kit so if they don't have spares for it then probably nobody has any.
Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams.

Thank you very much for your advice. I work with this store for four years, and, unfortunately, know as "fast" they decide such questions. Such warranty cases can be resolved for years.

What do you think about wings on skysurfer? They fit this model?

NO!

But You can search the web for Bnana Sky Surfer wings, but they are most sold out.

Can You send an picture here of the damage of Your wing, so ist is possible to help You with fixing?

Best regards from finland

I bought a Bixler for my nephew and the wing tips were very different and one bent much further than it should have been.

I used a hair dryer, warming it gently and bent it back into perfect shape. It flies great.
