Interesting about gong g10 wing. At 169 euros, which includes vat and shipping, that's getting towards the price of making one yourself.

I got my G10 here http://www.professionalplastics.com/G10FR4SHEET
Not cheap ... ended up being $130cdn per wing set, though less material needed for canard shape.

Thanks. What thickness and dimensions did you go if you remember? The new zeeko spitfire xlw wings are $660 cdn so I'm considering making my own larger set.

From first post: 3/8" thick (10mm), 24" width, will cut length to suit. 12"x24" was enough to make front and rear wing set.

Added to this, experience in making canard/spitfire imitations. I took a template from spitfire wings, enlarged smaller front one to be 10% bigger and rear wing to be 20% larger. I don't know how this compares to the XLW wings. My goal was to get lighter wind lift and slower performance. But I haven't used real spitfire, so can't compare. The only negative was that the rear foot bias was really strong, took a lot of effort to stay on foil. I suspect balance not quite right. I can send my template if you pm me your email. It will take less than 12x24 -- or with 12x24 you can make an extra front wing.

Conversion Moses Fluente and Zeeko G10 front wing




The angle of attack is make same as in the original W550

Works very well
