   Post on Speed wing mods? in Fat Avids, Avid Plus and Airdale

   By Airplanenate, posted 14 Jan 2023

   Going to start scratch building speed wings soon, for my fat airframe.
   
   Current thoughts are avid speed wing airfoil, 12 inch rib spacing,.083 spars @ 12 foot, 7/8 inch lift struts. Essentially longer aerobat wings.
   
   For current speed wing/aerobat pilots, are there any modifications you would have liked?
   
   Different airfoils, kitfox? just aircraft? Longer / shorter spars? Slats? Speed brakes? Anything come to mind? I'm scratch building so anything goes!
