Do the Voltex Type 1 and Type 1S wings qualify as a level 2 wing (1.00 point)?


Here are the 2010 rules for wings:

0.50 = level 1 wing (CR wing or smaller)
1.00 = level 2 wing (APR GTC-200 wing or smaller)
1.50 = level 2 wing with riser (APR GTC-200 wing with riser)
2.00 = level 3 wing (any adjustable wing bigger than APR GTC-200)

I looked up the dimentions of the APR GTC-200 wing
Length: 59.50 inches
Width: 9.50 inches
Height: 10.50 inches

Voltex Type 1
Length: 1500mm = 59.06 inches
Width: ???
Height: ??? (stands are 245mm = 9.65 inches)

Voltex Type 1s
Length: 1480mm = 58.27 inches
Width: ???
Height: ???

Based on length alone it would seem that they are both smaller than the GTC-200 but does width come into play?

 

no one knows?

 

I am guessing it is the surface area, not just the length?
Not sure, hopefully someone from the s2kc committee can chime in

 

It is suppose to be the surface area, how wide and how long the wing is. The rules was made before this wing was produced. So for right now, if it is wider then an apr gtc-200, it will be 2.00.

We can always take measurements at the next event, and compare them vs the CR and GTC200, and make a judgement call based on that.

From the pictures in the thread above, the type 1s looks about the same size as an apr gtc-200.

...If only it was the same price.

 

It does look like it is bigger than a GTC-200 and also mounted slightly higher, but the pictures may be deceiving.

 

1S is 1480mm wide, APR GTC200 is 1487.50.. so pretty much identical in terms of width.

The stands for 1S is also 195mm tall, and bracket can be switched up to 275mm.
