When you buy a brand new Sling Shot Fwind V3 , are spare bolts and nuts included ?
What should I be adding to my shopping list ?

Where I'm going , if something breaks. I'll have to ship it in.

TIA

You do not get extra's in the kit, as far as I remember. So I would recomend ordering more of these especially the multiple sets of M8 counter sunk bolts (might want to check out stainless steel) as they are used to attach the fuselage and the pedastal to the board and are under high loads. You can get pretty cheaply online

The M8x23 are under way less load but I would bring at least one set of these as well as one set of the M6x30 and M6x25

Excellent ! thanks td

There are Brafasco and Bolts Plus shops nearby , I'll drop by in person .
They used to have a $10 minimum .
These would be well over that.

Somehow I think we will hear a story about a foil in the lake.

How much torque is applied to bolts ?

Do guys use cord or wire to retain a foil wing if bolts let go ?
