FE Front and Rear Wing Update & Clarification
#33089 from Robey Clark · Rule change · TB 22-10 (2022-10 Fastrack)
In FE, GCR section 9.1.1.I.2.F.g, change as follows:
"The front wing main plane, front wing secondary elements, front wing support mounts, and front wing endplates assembly and
its related mounting components must be used and mounted as delivered from Enterprises. Any m Modifications to these parts,
except as specifically noted herein, is strictly forbidden are prohibited. The front main wing plane angle is zeroed on the rearupper aft transmission surface measured with a suitable angle gauge, i.e.: digital level on the top main plane 2 inches outwardfrom the nose box mounts element may be adjusted +2.5 to -0.5 degrees. It must meet a minimum measurement of negative .5degrees (angled down in the back) and a maximum measurement of positive 2.5 degrees (angled up in the back). It is acceptableto shim the main plane to obtain this measurement. Shimming 2 of the 4 verticals through the main element mounting points to

achieve adjustment range is allowed. The main element angle is measured relative to the reference plane. The main element is
checked on the upper surface, midway between the vertical mounting and outer secondary elements on both sides. Note: The
reference plane is the machined surface where the shock clevises are attached to the transmission case. Secondary wing
elements may be used in any of the provided adjustment holes. Gurney flaps (0.500" +/- 0.030") are permitted allowed as an
option for installation on the trailing edge upper surface of the front wing on secondary elements only, not the wing mainplane. They Gurney flaps must be securely attached in a secure fashion, without modification to the wing element except formounting hardware. Only .500” +/- .030” flaps are allowed. Maximum number of mounting locations on front flaps is 2 on eachflap and maximum hardware size is with two #8 (.156) hardware or tape. Gurney flaps, where attached, shall be are bent or
formed 90 degrees to have a sharp inner radiusand parallel to the upper surface of the wing element and. no t Tapered or "saw-
toothed" Gurneys flaps are not permitted. Gurney flaps are measured for total height as mounted from the upper surface of the
element."
In FE, GCR section 9.1.1.I.2.F.h, change as follows:
"The rear wing assembly and its related mounting components are to must be used and mounted as delivered. Anym Modifications, except as specifically notedherei n, are strictly prohibited. The lower plane angle, zeroed on the rear upper afttransmission surface, measured with a suitable angle gauge. i.e.; digital level on the top surface of the lower rear wing mustmeet a minimum of –3.0 degrees (angled down in the back) and a maximum of +2.0 degrees (angled up in the back). It isacceptable to adjust the lower rear element to meet these requirements element may be adjusted +2.0 to -3.0
degrees. Chamfering the upper inner corners of the wing mounting brackets to achieve the adjustment range is allowed. The
element angle is measured relative to the reference plane. The element is checked on the top surface, near the center, without a
Gurney flap. Note: The reference plane is the machined surface where the shock clevises are attached to the transmission
case. The upper rear wing element may only be adjusted within the parameter profile of the wing endplates and wing adjustersas provided from Enterprises using any of the provided adjustment holes. No additional holes may be added. Gurney
flaps (0.250" +/- 0.030") are permitted allowed as an optionfor installation on the trailing edge upper surface of the on one or
both wing elements. They Gurney flaps must be securely attached in a secure fashion, without modification to the wing elementexcept for mounting hardware. Only .250” +/- .030” flaps are allowed on one or both elements with five #8 hardware or
