Just found this form and wanted to say hello to everyone. I acquired a Solius glider at a yard sale and have a couple of questions. I need a new fuselage for my Solius and I heard a heron fuselage will work. Anybody know if this is true and where I could find either of these fuselages. I also believe I have Heron Wings instead of the original Solius wings. Mine have flaps and ailerons. With the flaps being inhibited. I'm trying to determine the best CG but unsure that the indicator dot on the underwing will work in my situation. Apologize for the typical newbie nuisance questions. I appreciate your patience. Have a great day.

Hallo Grouser,
ich verstehe dich überhaupt nicht. Wenn du Heron-Flügel hast, warum erwirbst du nicht bei Multiplex einen Heron Rumpf?
Ich glaube nicht, dass irgend welche anderen Flächen oder Rümpfe da passen. Die Elapor-Modelle sind genau aufeinander abgestimmt.
Gruß macsimu

Hello Grouser,
I don't understand you at all. If you have Heron wings, why don't you buy a Heron fuselage from Multiplex?
I don't think any other wings or fuselages will fit. The Elapor models are perfectly matched.

I'm just guessing at what wings I have. But based on my observations from the picture on the box of the Solius, the wings do not match in appearance or function. The Solius appears to have one very large aileron and flat wingtips. The wings on my aircraft are upswept at the end and actually have aileron's and flaps. The flaps are inhibited and not in use. I assumed they were from a heron because I'd heard a rumor that they were interchangeable. Without a confirmation I don't know what to buy?! Is there a source for Solius parts in the conus? I've been searching but come up with nothing. I will try to post a picture of what my wings look like later, thanks for your help!

Thank you so much for the links, they have everything I need! The problem is, it doesn't look like they ship to the United states. Sent an email requesting clarification and possible alternatives.
After looking through their parts list it does in fact look like I have Heron wings on my Solius. Either way if they won't ship it to me I'm out of luck.

Ding ding ding ding we have a winner! Went ahead and upgraded to the heron so I'll have flaps. Thanks for your patience and help!
