Last email with Pat@towerhobbies said the wing panels are inbound( ocean freight ?) and will ship to all purchased from Tower. That was about 3 weeks ago.

Thank you for top-notch service and support. Bob.

Bill,

Thank you for all the work you have done for us. Is there a way to upgrade to 2-day air. If the wings are packed like the original kit box(thin carton material with no protective padding from Phoenix), it will not survive the 5-6 days road trip to California. Is this being shipped out of Reno?

Just looked at my email and there was a notice that my order from Tower shipped....I thought," I didn't order anything?" Read it further and it stated it was for replacement wing set!!!!! Ya! So now it's up to Brown to see if they can screw it up!
