Wanted, 1-2 Pair of Octura Long Wing-Ding Sponson Brackets

[rctinman]

Hi Folks..
Looking for 1-2 pair of Wing-Ding long sponson brackets. These were most always gold in color, and were 5 1/2" long, from the base to the tip. As you can see from the pic., the black ones were shorter. Would prefer new, but good used, unaltered will work. So dig around your really old stuff, and see what you can find.

Thanks,
Steve Ball

Octura quit making them many years ago when Prather used them in there Piranha hull (fiberglass Wing-Ding). I haven't called Gary yet.

Found a set of black anodized ones as well, if you like that colour. 4.5 by 3 inches.

Hi Doug..
Thanks for looking, and finding these! I'm set for the black/short ones, but could still use one more set of the long/gold ones.

Thanks again,
Steve

You might want to try Graves hobbies in Orlando. I got a couple of pairs. They're great to deal with

could still use one more set of the long/gold ones

just call Octura direct (I believe her name is "Judy"?). I believe she carries the Wing Ding sponson support brackets.

Dave, got a call into "Trudy" at Octura. She was going to do a deep search for a pair, but she had her doubts.

Thanks,

Just found out the hard way, that the color of these doesn't equate length. Bought a pair of gold colored brackets from a vender, ended up being the short ones. Bummer! LOL
