Wing angle: I couldn’t find any information on wing mounting angle so here’s some information for those who purchased the carbon wing option.  The carbon wing is made using the Selig 1223 airfoil geometry.  There’s an cool site which has a good bit of technical data on this wing profile here. Here’s some data for…

[Start of very long story, skip to end if you want driving impressions] That was the most popular question of the day – “What is it?” The second was – “What’s it cost?” Today I drove the SLC over to the local California Highway Patrol (CHP) for the next step in getting the car registered…

I used McMaster PN 92725T42 which is made from aluminum and has a 79% open area.  I thought this…

As discussed in post 46, I purchased the Auto Vox X2 rear view monitor system for my SLC after having tried two other systems.  I think a less costly, better system might be available if you were savvy enough to design your own using hardware from the drone world.  It seems drones these days are…
