Hi,clam in that point is very strong in compression,but not quite strong if i "pull"the wing rearward,i will make a patch of CF to improve overall stiffness!!How are the forces absobed by the clam?? Where there any wider ones..
Mine wing is the smallest 48" wide,with bigger wing there was a major problem with shipment ..... for only 65$ i'm very pleased with this CF baby!!

Just for looks, or any down-force?

With that pure, simple, wing x-section it has to generate some downforce.
The usual Supra-style, Cossie etc monstrosities even a child can see is useless and only obstructing flow.

be careful, only a patch of fiberglass might not be enough once you hit 200kmh....
otherwise, great deal...

Ciao Ricky,3 layer of carbon fiber longitudinaly running and other 2 layer that cross in the center,for a total of 5 layer of carbon fiber in the center,is this enough ??be careful, only a patch of fiberglass might not be enough once you hit 200kmh....
otherwise, great deal...
Forces are now well spread over the entire surface in the clam under the wing
