Cool Can someone help identify this wing?

I got this wing for free, it came brand new in a box from Japan.

I've never seen US wings like this so I was wondering what model it was. Maybe '92 FC3S GT-X model?

hooooly crap... that is beautiful.

if you're gonna keep it, use it. if not, as was said before, SELL THAT BEAUTY!! put it on Ebay for like a month, and with that cash buy a new S5 engine or something... wow.

hey guys, first post. i'm wakeech over at the RX-8 board, and when i first got into rotary engines, this place just overwhelmed me, and i wanted to learn about the RENESIS anyways, and just kinda grow up with a board. i'm now proud to say that the RX-8 board is doing well, i'm a mod, 3rd highest poster, and now know lots, feeling not quite so overwhelmed.

i'm an FC guy (any year TII, which i'd rip apart and put back together my way... with lots of spare parts at the end ) so i'll be pokin' around here the most.

hi.

Mike,

I checked a rotary magazine that I had at my parents' house. The pictures didn't give a good view of the spoiler. (Although it looked similar to the one you have). Will have to check some other magazines that I have.....

Fingers, the mounting points on his wing look a little different.. they are larger, it's definatly a diff wing.

than again, there were 3 wings availiable for the FC.

86 sport (small rubber wing) which acctually improved aerodynamics
the 87 turbo wing (acctually increased drag) and was designed pretty much just for looks
than the 89+ wing that fingers and alot of S5 guys have.

They improved them mount locations and make the center supports a little larger, and yes, ABS injection molding
