    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.

    Well, here I was all ready to tell them that my 8.5" molds are complete and that I'd be happy to make them wings, but...is the CRB really going to change the rule back to 10.75"?

    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.

    I am informed by email that the rule for 2011 is going to be 8.5", so on the presumption that info is correct my previous statement about being ready to make wings stands. The molds for an 8.5" constant-profile, single-plane wing are complete and waiting. $795 plus shipping (and sales tax to Cali customers). Thx! Stan
