I have a wing for the Excelsior. What does it look like, numbers, profile or full fuse. etc.?

Are you certain that the name is "Excelsior" and not maybe "Excalibur" or similar? The only "Excelsior" I know of or could find on various plans sites online is a series of FF gas models that were published in FM by Dave Roundsaville.  y1 Steve

I won a sheeted foam wing at the Canton, Ga contest raffle and on the trailing edge was written "Excelsior". I thought it was for an existing plane. It may be someones new design.

From what Ty wrote, I'd say you're on your own and need to just design the rest, based on whatever floats your boat. Start by figuring out what the wing area will be, with flaps, and don't make the flaps real big. Ted or Brett will be able to suggest the flap area target, based on the area of the basic wing. Be sure to make it look cool and send a picture to Jim Pollack via Ty or Tom Morris.  :(  Steve
