Interest is good commited buyers is better I already talked to kevin and as soon as he gives me the green light my wing is coming off for molding.... Its just up to you guys...

Chris

I should be committed and I am a buyer...do I get bonus points?

Bump for bumps sake.

How is it that this has suddenly stalled??? I'm desperate for this piece. If we increse the down payment, can we get this going for the few of us that have already paid? I'm a selfish bastard...I know.

I am in assuming a delivery date that is reasonable can be given. I Will give down payment right now if it will get things going and i can have it before summer. PMing JKL

Basically, nothing will happen until 5 deposits are received. So, I don't think there can be a estimated date given until that happens.

if the other 4 on the list have already given their deposits ill be the fifth.

According to the last update, there are only 2 deposits received so far (myself and viciousNY). JKL is typically diligent in updating the threads so I would wager that they still only have to the 2 deposits at this point. Add yours and we are still waiting for 2 more.

im broke for now but withing the next month il be on the list

Based on this photo, it would appear that the CF mounting tabs that connect to the uprights are bolted or riveted to the wing itself.

Would it be possible to mount them further inboard, or specify the distance if permanently attached at manufacturing time?

I was indefinitely laid off last Tuesday but am still trying to scrape the money together. Has any progress been made on determining the final construction? Like I said previously I'd like to see the wing reinforced with an aluminum tube running from endplate mount to endplate mount and laminated integrally with the wing.

yeah, so far only two deposits have been received so we will need 3 more to get this thing going.

Yes, the wing will definitely get reinforced with some core and we are still discussing the details with the tech guys at the production facility. We will see if we could use honeycomb core instead of aluminum tube. We will release more updates once the sample gets to the production facility.

As far as the positions of the mounting tabs, we will most likely not change the distance since the more centered they are, the more stress you will be putting on the ends of the wing and might cause it to shatter if not enough reinforcement.

Will the wing be adjustable like the real RE version (different holes for angle of attack)?

Yes, it will be adjustable just like the original. :)

so i will throw down the 5th deposit, cmon other ppl, we need a 3 and 4

I'm in the process of doing my taxes right now. Depending on what I'm getting back, I'll be in for sure. I'd like to see a honeycomb reinforcement over the aluminum tube personally. I have the money for the deposit right now but just wanna make sure I'll get enough back from taxes to cover the rest of the wing.

Give me a week and I'll know for sure.

So close.... Just a little longer...

Chris

im itching so close to the 300 marging, unfortunetly canadian currency cannot uphold to your american dollar :( soon thought soon

I'll be up for a wet CF....But not for a good few months...Got to sort out the front end and sides of the rex first. I hope this happens :icon_tup:

My boxers are in a bunch over this......I can barely wait. Is the count still at 3 with deposits made???

yeah, still only got 3 deposits so far. We will definitely try to make this happen so hopefully couple more ppl can jump in to get this going. :)

Will u make it in dry carbon too?

If u are I`m in..:)

so do you have mounts for the fc?

RE wing.
 

I'm in. I've been wanting this for a while. I'm sending my deposit today.

Aldo

So does racerxrx7's deposit make deposit #4??? If so, we need to inform BigJim that time has come for him to be the fifth to get his deposit in.

Just did my taxes and waiting for the money to be deposited. Once I get it, I'll send my deposit for a carbon wing.

I have some associates that may be able to help with an FC mount. I'm not making any promises, but I'll certainly keep you updated.

Have your "associates" kick in some cash for the GB so it can get going. ;)

Just a heads up Kevin came and picked up my wing yesterday... Get your deposits in guys its going to be coming... :)

Chris

Yeah, we just got the wing from Chris last week so we will start the molding soon. If anyone is thinking about getting this wing at the GB price, you should contact us soon. Once the first batch is completed, we will raise the price back to retail.

I have to ask, structurally will these wings be comparable to the original? And dimensionally exactly the same? And can you move the supports to a spacing of 1210mm or 605 mm from center?

im rounding up my money, let me know when is deadline when you close GB. I want to get best price as possible, thx

Question about production
 

Sorry if you already answered this, how long does it take for production? There's a Buttonwillow race event coming up on April 18th, if I can get the wing a couple of days before that, I'm in.

Let me know.

Forget my previous comment, regardless if you can get this done by the 18th, I'm interested. Will 4 deposits do to start production? There's a few people who sent deposits last year (December I believe). If so, I'm in.

As far as construction of the wing, the design and dimension will be exactly the same as the original. The only difference will be that our version will be slightly heavier but much stronger since we will have reinforced core but the original does not have any core.

Currently, we will be starting the sample production soon. Since this is already an active project, we will be making this anyways regardless of how many current deposits we got. But only those who put in a deposit before we finish the first batch production will be getting the GB discount. Once our first batch production is completed, price will be raised to retail and GB will be closed.

Hi

Can you post a picture of how the spoiler is fixed to the inside of the tailgate please

Ok, about to commit, just had some last minute questions:

1) What is the expected total price for CF shipped to 75206?

2) For the deposit, Paypal how much to sales@jklre.com ?

Found a template for the FC mount. Well it is A FC mount....not THE FC mount. If you would like me to send it to you...I can.

The deposit was $300. At least that is what I paid. Check the 1st post for the correct amount.

I got my tax return back last weekend. I'll be sending in my deposit today after work.

I can make the FC mounts. I'm currently tweaking the design and then getting MY set completed. If you would prefer to make them from the template and sell them along with the wing, by all means....I can e-mail you the template(s). Or I can make them and ship them out for you. Let me know.

We are more than willing to make the FC mounts available to fellow FC owners and all we need is some sample mounts or templates to base the dimensions on. So if you do happen to have a set of FC mounts, yeah, that would be great if you can let us use them. Or if you got the template, please email it to us at sales@jklre.com

Thanks!

11.OppositionTim (CF,FD) - Deposit Sent

Sent my deposit and added my name to the list:icon_tup:

I'll e-mail the templates and designs tomorrow. I need to finish one of them.

If you are using the FD's existing mounting location, I beleive it changes my original design slightly, as the FC's rear changes a bit. What is the distance between the two mounting points on the wing? cm/mm/in doesn't really matter, I just need to recheck measurements.

Thanks!

I personally would like to see a rendering of the FC mounts before I commit. Thanks.

I would also like to see the mounts for an FC. I have cash in hand if they are feasible.

I just sent off an e-mail to JKL concerning the FC mounts. I'm sure they will have a final decision on what style of FC mount to use.
