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

 

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?

 

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.
