What is it?

[rockyabq]

I bought this from a local hobby shop for $100 including a nice wing bag and four unknown servos installed. It has a few very minor hangar rash dings.

The center section spans 1402 mm. Each tip section spans 850 mm for a total span of 3102 mm. The center section chord next to the notch is 240 mm including the flaps.

Is it, in fact, a Jaro Muller Esprit wing?

If so, I'll be posting a "Wanted" for an Esprit fuselage. :p

What it is ... is WAAYYY too nice for you. However, being the great friend that I am and all... I'll give you $50- for it so you don't get totally skinned on this deal... :D...

I'm always here for you Rocky, you know that!

Your friend in Clovis... Jack

NICE find, Amigo...

That doesn't match up with my Esprit wing. My Esprit has three bolt hold downs, and there is a U shaped notch, but the flaps are joined in the middle, and the notch doesn't go into the center panel itself. The flaps are run off of a horn in the middle, and the flap servo is in the fuselage.

Looks almost like a starlight 3000 wing, BUT the tips are not right for that either.

I almost thought you had a supra wing there at first glance!

Kind of looks like an Artemis wing.

Yes, could be an Artemis wing. The fuse cutout for the flaps looks like what Breta does for the NYX. And Breta made the Artemis/Hera ships.

here are the pics of my Artemis wing appears to be a match, I converted the measurements to inches and they are a match.

Awesome!!! :D

[rockyabq]

Looks like a perfect match to me too.
Thanks a bunch.
I emailed Tom(at)f3x.com and icare and inquired about the availablity of a used Artemis fuselage and v-tails.

[alstrahm]

Rocky not sure it matters but mine is the LT or + version with the X tail

Steve this wing has a SOAR sticker on it, must be from your area originally.

[StevenatorLTFO]

Yup, was owned by Steve Schneider from the SOAR club (aka Sneidley) I have never seen it fly, I think he had it out west. I saw it when it was originally for sale, looked to be an awesome deal!

Have you been flying it?

Rocky,

If you can't score a fuse from Tom, or through the groups, you could consider downloading a set of plans for the genie, adapt it to your wing and build it. Wouldn't be really all that hard to do!

The "Smooth Genie Pro" fuselage is only $159:

"Glassed fuse. (ready to sand and prime)"

That's a fantastic option too. I'll certainly keep it in mind.
