Cat XLS wing mounting

Post by Danf1275 »

Are these items available anywhere, or would anyone perhaps have a drawing so I can fab my own?

Cheers,

Dan

I've made my own in the past with (I think) 1.5mm piano wire. I couldn't find a drawing myself so it was just a bit of trial and error and lots of wire.

There's a template for it in the original Cat manual, you were given lengths of piano wire and expected to bend your own.

The XLS was the only one with pre-bent wires, the wing mount is a different shape to earlier ones.

I've got some aluminium RC10 buttons on the way, I'll make my own.

Cheers for info chaps.
