Thruster Batten Needed


Recommended Posts

So i snagged the wing of the Thruster on a fence post taxing out of the paddock. Now i need a new batten. I believe they are half inch wide? 

 

Does anyone have any old battens of similar size that they could spare? I can shape to fit the existing.

You must have a much later Thruster than mine as I'm only aware of the tubular type

Desk pilot was just confused by your non standard phraseology (wide) good thing you weren't talking on 126.7?

Okay great, thanks. HAvent found any stockists of 1/2 inch Aluminium tube yet.  Where are you Methulsa? Might be able to pick it up if you have something.

OK so now the question becomes, which batten do you need, mains or the smaller tip batten? Might be able to measure mine and printout a graph for you.
