side panels may have changed but the wing had to measure 25 and 16 square feet.panels and body added together.
No they started very small, with hardly any side bills. The good part of being old, seen it all. I remember the first one I ever saw was at Flemington, it was prob. about 3x3. Made of marine plywood. I knew right off the bat I didnt like em. If you left it up to the racers they'd have side panels 6 ft. high and going all the way to the ground on a 40 ft. wing. Thats where the promotors need to adress it. At least you guys have the choice of what to watch, lose all your nonwing racing and you'll know why I'm a bit bitter when it comes to wings.
