I machined the wing mounts myself. It's not complicated and I'd be happy to make another set for you, (total machining time is less than 1 hour). Black anodized I presume? I may need a template from you, the CFS1 hasn't made it back to Wisconsin just yet. The expensive pieces were the 'surfboards' that we CNC'd and anodized. They were the aluminum pieces that bolted to the rear clam and created slots for the wing mounts to slide through. If you don't want expensive surfboards, you can accomplish something similar out of .090" aluminum for much cheaper.

On the color issue: We at Prototype Composites feel that black chrome with a whole lot of CARBON FIBER would look pretty good in our collective, most humble opinon.

I'd also like to add that the louvered engine cover and roof that we make introduces an entirely new plateau of evil.

What's the story with the other S1?
