I don't as i haven't seen it but if the new draft rules go through. The wing only has to be below the roof hight, so I would imagine what every line is appropriate

Phil.
Phil, the higher line should get your roof to around 110mm. Cutting along the lines isn't the best way to mount a body though, I'll show you another way on Sunday

Yikes! I've already started cutting - hopefully there's enough left to work with. I've done around the back and along the lower line on the side. Screwed up the holes for the body posts by a few mm. Doh!

I'll bring it on Sunday, but won't be there till a bit late

If someone's looking for something a bit different, this should fit the bill:

Would that body suit the 21.5 rules? Looks very nice. I assume protoform have a wide array of bodies like this.

Unless you live in Montana

I wasn't being serious, but I think the 21.5 body idea is great for some more variety track-side. One or two running at Tempe on Sunday looked really cool.
