So we've had a little setback. We had intended a tuning session at the world wide leader of electric toy dyno tuning. Unfortunately a tragic incident at that shop has us rethinking where a suitable place is to get tuned.

A quote from my son this morning on our commute to school.
My gator is probably faster than the Daewoo, right?

C'mon man. Don went out of his way to get us the sporty version of the Daewoo, the one with the 4 cylinder engine.

So how am I going to "fab" up a wing for this thing? It needs to be removable, light, and not poke a kids eye out.

Get a slab of Styrafoam. Shape it with a Surform ("cheese grater" file) - just like a surfboard!
