Thanks, brother. I may have to add this wing to the PhatBoy catalog. When it's done, it will look much better than anything on the market.

The kitchen table is where projects get done . . . . right?

looks great! so the only thing you have left to do is put in the 4 braces?

Yep. Just the braces. I'm also considering rounding the corners, but I'm not sure.

Not trying to jack your thread but, how are the rotrex superchargers coming along for the 4V engines?

Looks pretty cool Tad.

Any plans for some side slats so that air doesn't get under the wing at speed and generate lift? Also, any plans for any sort of wicker bill on the trailing edge?

We haven't started on the 4 valve kit, yet. We gotta finish Jeff's 2 valve first. :santa_afro:

I may increase the roll of the side pieces a bit, but I'm going to give it a test pass first.

As far as a wicker bill, the wing is adjustable up or down about 2 inches at the edge, so I shouldn't need one. Again, testing will tell.
