Hi all,

 

Does anyone know the difference between Mid-Americas two wing kits? The images on their webshop looks the same, just that one is mirrored to the other. And, is the material Lexan or Mylar?

It looks like two brand names for the identical item. Thicknesses aren't given for either brand.

My guess is the 5" x 5" should be .005" by .005".

 

Not much difference, similar products by different manufacturers.

Bipen, buy one set for a pattern and find some sheet plastic locally to cut your own.

Probably quite similar, this should be a real pic of Aero; suppose the diaplanes are Mylar and thicknesses .005

Yes, Jim at Pacific Slot Car Raceways confirmed that dams and spoiler are Lexan and diaplane is mylar.
