I had them on mine, looked and flew great until it was stolen. I doubt
anyone has any laying around though. Make a couple out of hard foam,
then glass (option) and paint. The documentation I had showed only one
horizontal wing on the back of each tank. Make that out of thin nylon so
it bends on impact.  

Tip: Landing tended to break them, until I installed 1/4" x 1/4"
Neodymium rod magnets in both the wing tank and the wing tip. A single
magnet can lift a 2Lb steel block, two of them face-to-face is almost
double(magnetics, associated with each other or a metalic disc will
change the Gause rating, type in Magnet at http://www.leevalley.com). A
couple of mechanical male/female dimples to aid in alignment, and they
will stay put until you land. Even then, they might stay put! In fact,
these magnets (there are smaller and larger) make for a really cool way
of securing wings at the fuse root, or tips to center panels, etc.
