Both of you guys are right! The servo bay would tell you it's a bottom Wing, to hide inside the fuse.

Tiger 40 maybe?

I'll measure the Wing and Cord today and Post the numbers. thanks again!

Is it flat - Semi - or fully symmetrical?

Airfoil is fully symmetrical, doesn't look like any dihedral either and in the top view, straight as 2X8 ??

WOW, 180 views and can't identify what Plane this Wing goes to? The Wing must be older than I thought ??

Status: online 		wow ,...with so many arfs over the years and on the market now and its hard to quess what model that wing is. is the wing from a arf?....or was it built from a kit. it looks like a goldberg falcon 56 or skylark 56 wing but the 49" wingspan disproves that.

The Wings are sheeted foam, from the factory that way. Wish I knew what Plane they go to??

I believe the wing that you've shown in your photos is from a fairly early ARF kit called the "RED ARROW". This model was imported and sold by Cermark (Fullerton, CA) back in the mid to late 80's. The airplane had a 49" span, constant cord wing with a symetrical airfoil. It was a low-wing sport model with trike gear and was actually not all that bad looking. It was produced in Bangkok, Thailand by a company called MiniCraft. Unfortunately for you, it was long ago discontinued by Cermark. If I could have found an old ad in my magazine collection, I would have included a picture of this model with this message. But I had no luck in finding an ad. Hope this helps.
