So You Wanna BUY a Wing?
Updated 28th May 2005
Currently there are only a few flying wings available for sale. The
most well known in America would be the Klingberg Wing 2m and the KW
100, possibly one of the nicest looking wings in my opinion.
Rol
Klingberg made a few different wings and his contribution to the
availability is sadly missed as unfortunately these are now out of
production. It may still be possible to find some on the shelves of
some of the hobby stores around America.
Hey! you can still build a Klingberg Wing or a Klingberg Sport Wing
(.20 size power). You can order a construction set (plans, photo inst,
peel and stick templates) for either plane.
The cost is $15 plus $4.00 S&H for US delivery. Overseas should
add
postage cost for 8 oz.
Checks or money orders only to:
Rol Klingberg
10610 Tuggle Pl.
Cupertino, CA
There is a link to modifying the twist distribution on the Klingberg
wing to a more hortonish lift distribution HERE
Also sadly discontinued is Multiplex's Cortina.
You may still be able to find some of these around.
Robbe has also discontinued a wing called Vampir and a little
sloper called Geier. What a pity. The Vampir was a radical looking beast
The Spin Off is available in two versions, a fun fly version in
Glass
and a Competition Version made with Carbon. They also have a hlg
version and a 2 meter

It's cheaper than ordering from the states once you factor in costs.

I may be a bit biased but MODEL FLIGHT is my favorite model store in
Australia.
