ArizonaBOSS said:You might want to take a look on Racingjunk to see if there are any used airfoils available for a reasonable price before you put in the fabrication effort. Then you would just have to come up with your own uprights, which shouldn't be too difficult.
Width you will be looking for is in the 67" (my size/WC size) to 72" (AJ Hartmann/Vorshlag size).
roadhouse said:...Right now I am looking at ordering a foam core that will be cut to a specific NACA or other profile, I will then fiber glass the core, and fabricate some uprights.
modernbeat said:At the size you were thinking of, 72x12, I'd be very wary of using a foam core unless you put stringers inside of it. Larger wings -can- produce enough downforce to crush themselves against their mounts. Interior reinforcement will be necessary.

Sounds like an interesting project. Better than me replacing the boards on my deck last weekend.
Maybe the OSU aviation department could help you with the wing. I know they have pilot training, but don't know if they have aviation engineering. Maybe someone needs a research project and can help you--or get you access to some assembly stuff.

I assume you're gonna wrap it in CF and then gel coat it?
If you can't stand on it between two buckets it won't hold.
