Any one found a good source for a 49" rear wing? Seems there are no manufacturers offering wings with this short of a span, and that the shortest wings avalible are in the 52 inch range.

APR made a version of the GTC-200 specifically for this class. Then SCCA had to go and change the max chord length for next year- which is now 1/4" shorter than what the APR wing is. So nobody makes one except for the aluminum ricer stuff.

I'd bet that Kevin or Adam would be glad to make you one to the width of your choice.

I really don't know what the width of their wings are but I wouldn't think it'd be too difficult to make one a bit narrower if they needed to.
brooksmotorsports will make the size u want, they made a custom 60" for me
what do such custom wings cost?
Target $1000-1500 for a custom wing.
OTOH, the APR GTC-200 sells for $625 online.
You can buy the APR wing cut to 48"...
I have one, but its the full width 67"
The new STU/STL size limit is 48.25 width by 8.50 chord; all of APR's wings appear to be 8.75 max chord.

On edit: RESOLVED, see below.
Someone else (or numerous someone elses) want to submit that? I've been hammering them with STx rules changes/requests and I don't want to overstep my limited welcome...just request that the original rule be reinstated.
If nothing else, refer to that link and ask them to consider allowing that specific wing, with a max chord of 9 to accommodate the Gurney flap if desired.
Sweet. Thanks!
The wing issue was one of the requests I sent back in August when they proposed the entire ball of wax changes in ST. So it's been sitting on their plate for months. :p
Welllll, technically, the 8.5" was only a proposed rule change... http://forums.maxima.org/images/smilies/peepwall.gif
Hey if I wanted a custom build wing I could throw a few $k at Rutan's fomer company a few miles down the road.
Are you guys trying to fly?
