SL-C N E W Carbon wing

[Alex]

So, uhhhhh, any of you other SLC owners buy the wing yet? I havn't seen any other pics of it, so I'm curious if I'm going to be the first guinea pig for it

I am delivering one to P-nut this weekend at VIR.
RxHeven , Doc and you all have them on order...

Make certain to take pictures. Pictures are goooooood :thumbsup:
Oh, and when you get a chance, please let me know about the transaxle schedule and my chassis number

Hey Fran, I'm wondering if it would be possible to attach this wing to the Ariel Atom. We have a carbon fiber Wing package available to us but it is over $8000

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

HI Bolus,

I have a smaller cord wing too which may be a better fit....give me a call.

I saw a fully dressed Carbon Atom at Meadowbrook Concourse yesterday ....$115,000....ouch.....

It is nice to see someone building a wing that will actually work. Nice leading and trailing edges and camber. Most of the wings for sale are about as effective as a 1 x 6 pine board.

Fran, can your wing do this? :drunk:

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

I personally dont like the " I'm a little teapot" look....

but I will gladly stand on your new wing to test it...just say the word...

 

[Dave]

Make sure that is his wing you stand on and not mine.

Could you pm or e-mail me the CFD data?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Yep...will do.

"Are you a fancy lad?"

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

No but he is....
that must be his " I'm so proud of me pose "....normally followed by the "Oh shit" pose of falling into a heap on the ground

Uhhhhhh, I think I have to pass on that offer at the moment; however, I'm certain Will or Dave or somebody else will volunteer theirs for the purpose of science/education/etc.... :drunk:

Supposedly it's to illustrate the stiffness of it and the downforce (900lbs) it provides at speed

Do what??? Make a car AND a person look retarded???

 

[Roger]

Where's the pressure-activated adhesive when you need it?

Wouldn't a TRUE test need to be conducted at speed?
