A wing and B wing differences

Post by 28Charlie »

I have a chance to buy an A model wreck. Are any of the wing structure parts the same on a B model wing? Front spar? Aileron? Skins?
Thanks Chuck

The wing tips are the same.

Anything more than that I'd have to compare actual part number which I havent'.

Is there anyone who has an A model parts manual who can check the number for the right front wing spar. The B model is 0523301-2.
There's not much left to this A model wreck. Vertical stab and rudder look the same as a B model and in ok shape. Wings have fair to good control surfaces and slight wrinkling inboard on one and outboard on the other.
Thanks Chuck
