Up until sometime in the early 2000s, Ace R/C manufactured a very popular set
of injection molded foam wings for ½A size models - the
Ace R/C Mini Foam Wing. There was a constant chord
and a tapered chord version. Up until fairly recently, a third-party firm was selling
equivalent foam wing panels eBay. Of course you can often buy original Ace R/C Mini
Foam Wings on
eBay so you might want to check periodically to see if they
appear.
Laser Design Service and
Balsa Builder both offer a balsa built-up version
of the foam wing. Andy Kunz has a free plan for cutting and building
your own Ace tapered chord mini foam wing replica.
Owen Kampen and others designed and kitted many ½A airplanes using his Mini Foam
Wing cores. Notable examples are the All Star
biplane (actually for .15 engine), the
Pacer
aerobatic plane, the Whizard sport flyer,
Dick's Dream (.020 engine), the
Simple Citabria and
Simple Duster, and the
Ace High glider.
