Sportster 120 fuselage, Ultra Sport 1000 wing?
Hello; I bought a bunch of flying stuff, among which was a Sportster 120 fuse, well built and very well covered, no wing. I have the plans so I can bang out a stock wing pretty easily, but I thought, why not copy the Ultra sport 1000 rib shape, and build one of those.
What do you guys think of this idea?

As long as the wing saddle is adjusted to give proper incidence, I see no reason why this won't work. Make sure to post pics when you get 'Frankenstien' done!

It will work fine. Several years back I took an Ultrasport fuselage and added a top section for a second wing and proceeded to make a negative stagger biplane using up an old Goldberg Skylark and a Falcon 56 wing.
Used a Fox Eagle 60 for power and had fun with it. We named it the Ultraflark.
