Just got my new fuselage that I've been waiting 5 weeks for to find that something went wrong when it was being made. The connection point for the front wing on the new fuselage ( which can be seen in the photo .It's the new darker looking black in colour one) , is meant to be the same size and shape and have the same spacing and position for threads as the connection point on the older, duller in colour fuselage in the photo. Everything else fits onto the fuselage as it should ( mast and Stabilizer) . I was wondering if anyone had any ideas in relation to getting the front wing connection the same as the one in the photo on the older looking fuselage. They don't make these fuselages anymore and this was apparently the last one sitting in the factory overseas somewhere. So I really need to make it work. Any ideas appreciated.

Guessing it fits a different wing than what you have, brand and mfg year of foil?, that will help get feedback.

Is the hole spacing correct? If not, then you'd almost be better off getting a custom fuse. Otherwise, you'll be cutting/welding or something.

If the spacing is correct, how off is the fit? Pics would help.

Response from the seller?

Maybe remove the inserts, fill the holes and adding new inserts? That is something a machinist should be able to do.

If that small "step" is supposed to key into the wing, can't imagine that would fit, even if the hole spacing is correct.

Looks to me like those are the Fanatic Flow and Aero fuses and if so they are pretty clear that they are not compatible in v2.
