WTB Carbon Fiber Lucero Wings

[Kevin Lloyd]

Anybody out there making carbon fiber Lucero style wings?

I don't know of anyone making them out of CF. You could contact R/C Boat Company and see if he would do a set for you. Here's his website: http://rcboatco.com/

Thanks HJ, well aware of RC Boat Co. and their work which is great, but I need the lightest transom possible on my new build.

Well, I can make you a set of carbon fiber wings. Did some for Don F. These will be 1 lay of carbon fiber and 1/4" foam core joined.. I will use less epoxy to try to get as light as possible. You really dont want flimsy light wings that will split and break first time it flips.

send me a email or call 217 358 3167 [email protected]

Yup, Phil has done a few CF wing sets for me over the years, most recently for the new U-7 Valken being built now. And he's correct about flimsy wings, check out pics F9, G1 and G2 in my '96 Smokin' Joe's build thread- https://www.intlwaters.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=770

Hey thanks guys, I will contact Phil, not interested in flimsy wings, I want really strong lightweight wings

E-glass just as good

Who makes e-glass wings and are they pretty light?

 

[BobGutsell]

I make mine from wood, 1/32 ply with shaped strips on the edges and foam cores. They were alot lighter than the glass one's I had, but they weren't phil's or RC Boat company wings.

e glass is just commonly used cloth there is a S glass that has more strength, but for our use no big deal.
