Boiling the wing is probably why yours is so soft/bendy.

I've been running the 2017 wing for a few months and haven't had a single issue. Have had several catastrophic crashes too.

Our locals always have boiled Montech wings to increase durability. Clearly not working on the new front so I’ll take your advice and see what happens. Thanks

If the 2017 wing once boiled flexes too much maybe you can shim it up 0.5 to 1mm to help prevent some of the drag/touch down moments on the tracm

please decribe boiling procedure for old Montech wings. Temp, duration? I really like the old wing but it can snap, like to boil the next one if it helps.

Racer2 is more aggressive / agile than the Racer.
Both bodies have a good front to back grip balance. Racer2 just has more ....

Is it the same mounting on a Awesomatix as the Racer?

Indoor Sam liked a "middle" between neutral and aggressive on carpet
I only ran aggressive (Max fwd)

Do you have a price estimate yet on these bodies? They all look really nice.
