    If you need one I have a couple, $5 to cover costs.

      Oh that’s a little more than far. I glued it in using Gorilla glue, if you don’t know it’s a flaming glue, very strong for EPO foam.

      Hey does that offer still stand? I would like to purchase one. I just unboxed mine and set it up after 2 years and want to do this Mod before the maiden. I'm in NJ.

    Yeah great mod
    The other one is to run a rubber band around the main gear door spring (one that contacts the strut) through the little hole in the foam & up through into the nose to secure
    Apparently sometimes this‘spring’ can twist in the opposite direction & jam the gear doors..

    Thank you for posting this. I just learned how to download 3D printer files and order the part online by uploading the files which is really cool. I just ordered my Avanti S today. I've always had kit built balsa planes with glow power but these EDF jets look too cool so I had to try one.

      Tom Akers glad to hear it. Put in a couple flights today, very fun plane to fly

    Hello, You wouldn´t have the 3D file of the piece? I just got my Avanti S and do not want to suffer the front wheel wobling.
    Greetings from Guatemala
    Many Thanks

    How did you adhere that piece in the nose well? Glue?

    • @PapaDave208
      @PapaDave208  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gorilla Glue, rough up the surfaces

    I also had this same issue I guess like everyone else that owns this plane. That was the main thing I complained about when I first received mine. How does one go about getting a few of these made if you have no access to a 3d printer ???

      I asked around till I found my friend, Jim. I asked Jim, my friend, if he would be willing to print off some for like $5 for people. Jim, my friend, said no. Sorry! Good luck hunting down someone or make one out of balsa ply
