I Currently have a Vmar Apache II trainer with a SC .46 glow engine.
The hull and wings are getting a bit tatty and I have a bad feeling in
the next few days I am going to crash lol.

I need some help.  Can someone point me in right direction of were I
can get new wings and a hull from.  I don’t mind if it is a different
plane I want to use the same components for the Vmar

Thanks

Where are you? If you fly with me(or someone) on a buddy cord you will save
your plane until you can fly solo.

How do you mean "tatty"?  That adjective brings to mind the covering
coming off in strips -- is that the case, or is it subject to many small
breaks, or what?

Are you concerned that the thing's condition is going to cause a crash,
or just that you're pushing your luck with your flying skill?

If it's structurally sound and the covering's in good shape then it may
be ugly, but it should fly OK.  You can fix the covering -- if you can't
patch it with shipping tape you can always rip it off and redo.  Ditto
for structural problems, except if you're in the northern hemisphere you
may want to wait until the weather rules out flying to do so, as you'll
have to start by ripping off the covering.
