Elevator skins

[Robert Eilers]

I am considering reskining my elevators. Is there a good source for just the skins? I talked to Preferred Airparts - they have only the right upper in stock for $183. I was hoping to be able to improve the looks of my elevators relatively inexpensively. Looks like that idea might be a pipe dream.

In one of the forums there is a list of parts suppliers, I think there are a couple who sell control surface skins. You should be able to get what you need from one of them. I think it's in the MX forum near the top.

Here's a couple sources I made notes of. I haven't bought anything from them yet but I've read others have had good experiences.

I have had excellent experience with Karl fairly recently with new rudder skins. Reasonably priced and promptly shipped.
