On behalf of the Xray Tango Helicopter Club and Flightaid, Wasp XT788 is in urgent need of an undercarriage leg please.
One leg has now failed entirely due to a previous poor repair and thus no more fund raising can take place until a replacement is found, plus ideally a second example as a spare.
To refresh your memories about this airframe and worthy cause, please see the links below.
Can you help or know someone who can please ?

Many thanks for the leads.
To answer the Prune forumite, the leg cannot be repaired any further. Someone has previously used normal welding equipment which has pretty much burnt away most of the original surrounding metal, and now the weld repair itself has finally given up.
Is there a cheaper alternative to asking Everett & Son ?

When we moved our Wasp, Barry Parkhouse told us that he a lot of wasp spares. That was only last year, he’s probably got what you need.

Hey way to go Guys,
If I am correct I remember when you started out restoring this and I sent you the Cyclic for it 🙂 as you had not any of the interior, I often wondered how far you had got and I am staggered……….
Have you tried Everett Aero, as they have spares for them……… Though I can see not wanting to buy one as its a fund raiser for a good cause and buying would be self defeating.
