Mr. Carlisle, of course this thread mainly pertains to the Super Stunter wings and how to replace them as they are now the supply is almost non existant.
That said I wish to make clear that if anyone can benifit from what is posted here in any way to help with any aspect of their own modeling techniques, material usage or if you are simply entertained by the posts here then I will have gained satisfaction of my efforts.
I feel deeply that these wings made a huge impact in the performance increase in small flying models. I was so impressed years ago and this impression has resurfaced in my life and I know others also shared the experiance.
That said I also wish to make clear the purpose of this thread. To be able make for ourselves wings of the same caliber. They would not have to be constructed from the same exact material nor would they need to have the exact same color, airfoil or dimensions. The underlying structure can vary. The methods of making them can be whatever we have available to us presently, or could be newly developed.
The end result would be to encourage each other, to share ideas that can promote this hobby and to otherwise make our hobby more rewarding. If this means we are able to make a replica of the same dimensions and properties that could be used to replace the Super Stunter's wings and get'er back in the air then that would be great. To be able to use these alternative wings for use on the Focke Wolfe 190 plan offered by Cox specifically designed to use the Super Stunter wings would be also be a plus.
I intend that this be carried further to new designs for these wings and further to come up with new ways of doing what we like to do. This of course would carry over to other types of models.
If this helps with making strong, light fuses, wheel pants, cowlings or wing struts then I will be happy!
Cox has a fairly new foam stunter .Saw one at the field last summer.I know our LHS had at least one . Maybe those have replacement wings you could use?
Mr. Kientz, This could be one answer to new light designs based on this wing. I wonder why it has not already been done or if it has, why it has not been shared here. To my knowledge this is a solid foam wing (I have not seen one in person) that most likely has been injection molded. I have not seen these wings for sale unless you buy the whole plane. I have seen other parts for sale.
Enough talk, lets get to work!
