Youvenko 1/2a wings wanted
Hey fellas, Im interested in finding one or two Youvenko or very similar 1\2a wings. I recently had a friend give me a gently wrinkled .25 size one and am really keen on finding 1\2a sized ones for this spring.

Re: Youvenko 1/2a wings wanted
Unless you have a high powered ball bearing .049 or .061, you won't be able to fly the plane. My Yuvenko is current and it's wingspan is 37" tip to tip with a chord root of 11". This is larger than my old .15 sized combat planes. A TD won't effectively fly this plane and it won't balance it without tons of nose weight. Even a TD .09 won't balance it, it's close though.
These planes are indeed neat, they fly well but can be twitchy if you never flew them before. Hitting the ground doesn't usually result in a go back up and fly situation. The larger models do better than these do.
I show a Mezjlik 1/2A combat wing as well. These were the best in my opinion and have been non existent for at least 10 years or better. A TD will fly one of these. The span is 30" with a 9" root. I fly mine with a VA MKII and it's a fast flying plane. I need some warming up before I go out and fly this one.
This is my Yuvenko, I had my outboard leading edge completely removed on it's first outing. I had to do some major repairs on this one but it's flying pretty well now.

Re: Youvenko 1/2a wings wanted
That is an awesome looking wing Ken. It looks very much like the combat wings used here in Oz a lot. People import them completely built on packs of ten. A friend is trying to get my to join a group and buy a couple for my OS 15. I think he said they are from Ukrainia as couldnt get them for a while probably due to the war. But packs of ten pre completely built work out very cheap per plane that way.

Re: Youvenko 1/2a wings wanted
I got my Yuvenko from Yaro here in Canada but he moved back to Russia so that is the end of that. Not sure of the suppliers now. There is a site F2ABC that may have something if the import ban is not in effect. The Core House used to make one. Also there is a Sonic Chicken that is about the same. http://flyinglines.org/buzz.sonicchicken.html I think foam ones may be or can be stronger. IDK Hopefully it is ok to send stuff for another site. This one isn't mine,
Just a pic I had from the Nats quite a few years ago.

Re: Youvenko 1/2a wings wanted
The Li'l Hacker II by Core House could be what you want. Contact Phil Cartier to get the wings. His website is not up, he let it go a good while ago. He had a stroke a while back which slowed him down, but I believe he still ships cores. He may have some Li'l Hacker II wings ready to ship. I bought two wing set from him and was happy with his work. Best way to contact him I believe is to post on his manufacturer's page on Stunthangar: Core House

edit: Here's a quote from one of Phil's posts,."Right now, the best way is simply call and leave a message on the phone- 717-566-3810. It has an answering machine attached. It can hold up to 5-10 short messages. Just leave a phone number and name and address. A good old last resort is a post card or short letter."
