Wing Cores

We have several stock airfoils that are not necessarily "custom cores". These are worth way more than what we charge! It really is fun! Got a "CLUB ONE DESIGN RACE" in mind? When we get one design races and combat sessions going, we see members and non members show up by the dozens to club events. We have these in stock right now and waiting to be shipped. Ask us if you need a wing for an old airplane too! We can cut most all of them!

Try one out- we all know you have a project that needs a wing sitting in the back of your mind!

LISTED BELOW ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON CORES AND SIZES PURCHASED- WE HAVE MANY MORE TO CHOOSE FROM.


A. "30" series Thermal wing semi-kit 7.5 inch chord (same as Thermal Panther see picture)
Pink Foam wire-cut "30" series thermal flatbottom airfoil 32 inch wing cores.

Two 32 inch long panels sell for $15.00 plus shipping
Two 24 inch long panels sell for $10.00 plus shipping

Finishes to make a 2, 3 or 4 panel polyhedral sailplane wing (your choice) Use it on your next project. These are really quick to finish up and are cheap to build!

B. CLARK-Y Lifting airfoil 7.5 and 8 inch chords
CLARK-Y airfoil is very good for relaxing gentle flight in thermal or at the slopes. Also EXCELLENT for the new park fliers. This airfoil was one of the first recognized airfoils and many full size aircraft still use it to this day. Incredible amounts of research still go into it everyday. It is extremely stable and forgiving, thick so therefore sturdy and works well for thermal, slope or powered aircraft.


Two 24 inch by 7.5 inch chord panels sell for $12.00
Two 32 inch by 7.5 inch chord panels sell for $15.00
Thirteen inch chord panels available by special request

C. Semi Symmetrical 7 inch chord (same as the EUREKA glider)
This wing is SUPERB for a stable strong slope wing. Recently many orders for this wing in white foam and used for park fliers- let me know if you need a special order.

Two 24 inch panels sell for $10.00 plus shipping
Two 32 inch panels sell for $15.00 plus shipping

Finishes as a 7 inch chord. Uses 1/8th sheet for ailerons. These are the same wings as seen on the EUREKA! VERY POPULAR!

CUSTOM WING CORES
If you have a special airfoil or are designing your own plane and would like us to cut your wing panels for you, let us know. We custom cut wing cores and airframe parts. We have a full manufacturing facility utilising state of the art (such as CNC foam cutting machines) as well as time tested foam cutting equipment.
