Do you ever build custom composite wings?

Wanted to ask if you ever do custom composite wings.. I have an older Mueller (sp?) slip on nose, fuse, and I would like to build it into a strong open class ship, but the foam cores and bagged wings I have are RG15 airfoils, which, I guess, is a pretty outdated airfoil.

I know you would need all the details on the fuse, but at this point I wonder if you do this kind of thing,

Its a 9" root, I was figuring about 55" per panel, with one of the newer F3B airfoils, and a triple taper wing plane

Let me know if you'd be interested in a project like this..

Bob, the RG15 is still a very respectable airfoil, although we have our own airfoils we use on our projects. If you have a set of RG15 wings already I'd recommend you go ahead and use them. You can always make another set of wings later, at which point you'll have a backup, and a basis for comparison you can use to evaluate your new design.

As far as making a one-off set of custom wings, yes we have that capability, but I don't think the folks who've been patiently waiting for Monarchs would take to kindly to our doing that. We make kits here, and all the spare resources we have are already allocated to our other kit development projects, one of which is a very innovative open class ship of our own. However interesting your project might be, it just doesn't make economic sense for us to build one of something when those same resources could be used to develop something we get to sell in quantity. Sorry, but it's one of those things where the rules of good business just don't give us any choice! I'd suggest you check with some of your club members, chances are there's someone in your circle of friends who can do these for you. Good luck!
