Official Announcement of our newest version of Spec Wing.

WCRC is proud to announce our newest version of the Spec Wing.  In our continued work to make our kits better we have redesigned the 3D printed parts and upgraded some of the hardware to make a better kit.  A huge thank you to Jeff A. and Jake W. for helping with suggestions, engineering designs, and flight testing.  WCRC really appreciates your efforts to help make this kit the best we can possibly provide.  Changes might be made due to some final testing before the release.  The Spec Wing kits should become available in October 2019.

CODE NAMED:  The ReSPECt

How does the new Spec Wing kit differ from the original version?

  • Stiffer 3D printed winglets to reduce flutter at higher speeds.
  • The 3D printed motor mount is completely redesigned to be slimmer and more aerodynamic while also providing better cooling for those full throttle 4s adrenaline runs at two feet off the deck.  Please note 3s batteries are used in official WRA Spec Wing Class.
  • Cobra motor wires can be ran inside the motor mount.  T-motor wires can be ran around the plastic hub and then tucked inside to the wire channel.
  • DuBro 2-56 threaded control rods with the nylon Kwik-Link clevis.
  • DuBro Swivel Ball links for 2-56.
  • DuBro E-Z connectors for those who might not want to use the clevis or ball links.
  • The 2mm Carbon Fiber rod on the trailing edge is replaced by Carbon Fiber strips.
  • The ReSPECt will use the same air frame, most of the same carbon fiber, and covering as the original version.

With all of these upgrades we are able to remain competitive with our pricing.  The ReSPECt will be sold for $59.99 when it becomes available.

Carbon Fiber, UPS, and Spec Wing kits

Carbon Fiber

Some carbon fiber strips and rods were added to the website today (LINK HERE).  We have limited sizes, however we plan to expand as we find out what is most widely used.  We can offer a bulk discount on orders over 100.  Please contact us if you need more carbon fiber or sizes that we don’t have listed on the website.  I have access to quite a few different sizes, but with limited funds from starting up my own business, I can not carry everything in stock.  I can beat most retail prices. Currently the best way to contact us is through our Facebook page. We hope to add a form to the website eventually. You can find our Facebook page HERE.

UPS

We are still working with UPS about our rates. We resolved one issue today which helped reduce the shipping charges our customers see. An issue still exists between what our customers are being charged and what we actually pay when we ship directly from the UPS page. Our UPS representative is currently working on this. We hope to have this resolved soon. We will refund any difference between what our customers pay and what we pay to UPS.

Spec Wing

The Spec Wing kits are getting closer to completion. Bob and Donny over at Thrust FPV did some crash testing and found the wing held up very well. We are still working out the details for the motor mount and winglets. Once this part of our R&D is finished, we’ll have the kit up for sale. I know this is taking longer than expected, however we want to sell the best product we can possibly make.  We are almost there!
