Wings ?? Do you recognize these ???
 

Does anyone recognize this Wing set? Please see attached photo's. They appear to me to be a High Wing for a Trainer? Hobbico, SIG, Goldberg, ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. [:o]

RE: Wings ?? Do you recognize these ???
 

if that wing is for a high wing trainer why is the servo cut out on top the wing. that is the top of the wing with the red bands??.........might be a global rcm trainer .40?????....sorry could not be more help

RE: Wings ?? Do you recognize these ???
 

Unless you have that wing upside down on the table, it looks more like a LOW wing config. Possibly a Tiger 40? What is the span, the cord ?

RE: Wings ?? Do you recognize these ???
 

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

Tiger 40 maybe?

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

The Wing Length is 49" and the Cord Length is 8" Any idea what Plane it goes to?

RE: Wings ?? Do you recognize these ???
 

Sounds too short to be a Tiger. Not the Tiger's color scheme either.

Is it flat - Semi - or fully symmetrical?

RE: Wings ?? Do you recognize these ???
 

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

RE: Wings ?? Do you recognize these ???
 

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

RE: Wings ?? Do you recognize these ???
 

Try to find someone in your area with an old Tower catalog from the early to mid eighties and see if that design might be there.

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.

RE: Wings ?? Do you recognize these ???
 

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

zzw26n,
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.

Looks like it's time to scrath build a simple fuse and go slam the sticks. [8D]

Funny you posted a picture of the low wing Red Arrow. I have the high wing trainer version made by MiniCraft (I guess there were two versions of the Red Arrow from the same company). Its a mid to late 80's ARF with the exact same trim scheme shown on the wing you posted (even the same text style). It has a flat bottom airfoil and its a sheeted foam wing. If you go to [link]http://www.minicrafthobby.com[/link] you can see a picture of the Simpli-Fly 40. It looks exactly like the Red Arrow I have sitting in my barn except for the covering scheme. I wish I could tell you how it flys but I havent flown it yet. I built it about 10 years ago but never got around to flying it. Now i'm getting back into the hobby and its on my list of planes to fly as a first gas aliern trainer. From what I remember it went together fairly well, aspecially for a very early ARF. Ill take a picture of it if i remember tomorrow. I even think I still have the origional box.

I need to go through all the old planes I have lying around. Anyone ever hear of a "sporty 40"? (you don't need to answer that)
