Status: online 		Looks great Bill, in fact, it looks awfully familiar to a wing I have in the work room.

I'm thinking about making a mold to do fiberglass wing tips for that airfoil. I just hate sanding them blocks. I'll let you know if I get around to it between all these projects.

And here I always thought the Wildcat was an F4F.


>>>A couple of proprietary wings have gone out so as to gather some data<<<

Oh sure, dave gets all the good stuff! He, He



Hey dave want to share a pair of those tips, I hear composite tips are legal in APRA He, He. Don,t know where I got that idea. OK OK, I,ll shut up I know always stirring it up.

Bill, is that something you and Paul F have been working on? Hope you don't mind me editing and re-posting your pic with some extras.

Status: offline 		Bill;
So are you going to sell those wings separate? Or are they only going to be available with the RacerII Modified? Reason I ask is that is almost the same Airfoil I run on the Neme-Q. Reflex is less than the Neme-Q but it's a excellent looking Wing.

I'd like to see how it does against the Neme-Q in May 2002.

Status: online 		The airfoil is similar to the Neme-Q, Bird of Prey, and Vortex.

When Michael sent me the airfoil about a year ago, I compared it to my Neme-Q and Vortex. It was very close, but slightly different. I'm sure Michaels would be very close in speed to the rest, probably hard to tell the difference.

They are all very close, and seem to be about the fastest thing going these days. It would be nice to have the time to make about 10 variants of this airfoil and have it objectively tested. Unfortunately most of us just don't have the time to do that.

My thoughts on the wing tips is this. I will sand the wood ones down, and see how the plane flies. If I like it, I will make my mold off of the wingtips for future use.

I'm hoping to get a flight report from Bill soon. By the looks of our weather today, it may be a while before I get a chance to fly mine.

Status: offline 		Lets see now Bill. Yes, I got a rather strange 'E' mail with an attachment purported to be an F3F. While it was not a photo but a strange combination of large punctuation marks that consisted of a large colon followed by the 'front' half of a set of parenthesis marks.

Not being very bright at this computer stuff and since I know better but I,d almost think that was the code for the Big old 'Mooning smilie face' HE,HE OK, OK Speaking of the moon when are we gonna finish that flyoff that we attempted before with the moon above the horizon? Racer 11 to Racer 11


Your friend, John (Big smilie face, since I can,t find them)
