    The following is the ELF Engineering write up on their Hand Crafted
    Pre-Sheeted Obechi Over Foam Core Wings.
    
    Elf Engineering provides hand crafted pre-sheeted foam core wings using
    only the finest materials and design techniques.  Using foam as the
    foundation for the airfoil, a balsa spar with air-ply shearweb and
    wrapped with Kevlar provides the strength to withstand the hardest
    winch launch.  The addition of fiberglass cloth along the control
    surfaces and carbon fiber upper and lower spar capping during the layup
    offer exceptional strength and rigidity to the already strong spar
    system.  Obechi is used as the wing skin to afford a strong and durable
    outer surface that adds structural strength and wing ingtegrity.
    
    These wings come to you with the leading edges installed ready for final
    shaping.  The servo wire troughs are pre-drilled with the servo
    locations marked on the bottom of each wing panel.  The root ribs are
    installed prior to the sheeting process allowing the builder to match
    the wing to the fuselage and drill the guide pin location for final
    wing/fuselage alignment.
    
    Elf Engineering offers the wing of your choice; with almost every
    option available.  Yes, there are some they don"t do.  You decide what
    you want in a sailplane wing, and provide the dementions whether it be
    a single, double, or triple taper planform.  Select the dength of the
    panels or let them assist you in your selection of that World Beater. 
    Their prices start at $185 for a plug-in wing up to 118 inches, and
    $225 for a three piece bolt-on wing up to 124 inches, plus shipping &
    handling.  Call for further information or special orders.
    
     
    Regards,

Anker Berg-Sonne ordered a "killer" Legend wing from them and is/was
very happy. It was a nice wing and it flew quite well. He did a review 
in either the glider (399), Legend, or foam wing note. It might have 
even been in the DECRCM file. If found, it should probably be moved 
here.

        your custom wing design.
