S1-SS Wing Kit - S2C Half Round Tip - UK CAA Version $7,550
We offer a retrofit wing kit that will fit any standard S1fuselage featuring built-up truss ribs, wooden leading edges and improvements to the spars for additional strength. This kit also features large 52" -60" 30% hinge point ailerons with three hinges per aileron.
Our wing kits feature pre-built truss-type ribs - lighter and stronger than plywood; wooden leading edges for high strength; flush clear inspection panels for ease of maintenance and inspection; flush fuel cap in wing tank (wing tank optional); slave struts mounted behind "I" struts. This kit comes complete with formed leading edges, all ribs built, and spars milled. Our ribs attach tot he wing with a pre-angled cutout for the top wing - so no need to bend and glue like some other kits!
Included are all of the plywood parts, all new improved fittings and all hardware (bellcranks, hinges, support plates, i-strut attach points, idlers, push/pull control tubes, etc... everything needed to complete the wings!
(note: bearings are not included)
Please note these wings are approved for construction and flight in Great Britain by the UK CAA and are slightly different to the US version.

Notes on UK Modifications
We have worked closely with the UK CAA to produce a version that has been approved for construction. The CAA will expect to see certain mandatory changes made to obtain flight approval, and we have incorporated these into the plans and kit parts. The changes include:-
