I probally have the wing you need

Find the horizontal size and a picture. There are two different style wing.

I have two size horizontal and the Jones and Lucero style verticals.

$50 assmbled with foam core.

Phil, if I remember right, the 79 Circus had the cathedral wing and the forward swept verticals, sort of like the tail on a Mooney Aircraft, so the Jones and Lucero verticals won't work

just went and looked on Roger's site and what I thought is correct. Here is a link to the plan

you can also contact steve at rcboatcompany.com and he has them and very good quality.

Thanks guys, i was starting to lose hope of finding one. I couldn't find a cathedral one in Australia.

If I can't find a complete wing set, I will contact you Phil and buy just the cathedral wing if you will

sell it to me (probably buy two, as I know how much punishment they take.)

Thanks again cannot wait to finally get the boat wet.

OK But you probally will have to cut up the wing to match your plans, that was a one of a kind setup.

You could use some 3/8ths balsa and use spruce stick for the leading and trailing edges sand to shape and cover with some 2oz cloth.. They will be light and strong.

Actually Phil, it was a two of a kind set up. Both the 79 Circus and the 79 Squire Shop had the cathedral wing on them, but for 81 at least the Squire went back to the rearward sloped tails and flat wing. The Circus was sponsored by the Air Force and Squire Shop both in 81, so it's possible the wing and tails were changed that year. They were changed prior to the 85 season, since there is a picture of the boat wearing a Dominoes Pizza paint scheme with the conventional tails and wing on Roger Newton's plan site

Hey Jamie

I rang Glenn Watkins (Wacky) last night, He has plans for it and said he would make it for you if you cant find one ready to go.

We have to make sure it is ready for the Gold Cup in Feb, http://ampba.asn.au/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1023 Brett wants to hold MY GOLD CUP.

 

[jamie anderson]

Thanks scalehydros,

That would be much appreciated if i carn't find one.

we will have to met one day and do a bit of boating you leave very close to me.

 

[Brett Buckmaster]

I will hold the Gold Cup next year with the new boat coming to the musuem

Can't wait to see the paint job peter has done for you jamie. Will it be a late minute entry for the Hunter valley champs?

Regards,

Bucky

Hi brett

without a wing you blokes won't let me race it that's why your hidding all the wings :lol:

Also it would look a little silly with oars ( no motor yet ).
