The losi wing kev mentions means you can mount the wing really far foward, i personally use a jconcepts 7" v wing, personal preferance

interesting.
How large is this Losi wing?
I personally prefer a rather large one, like 17cm's or more.
The serial number of the Losi Aurora is LOSA8115

does anyone have the number of that JConcepts-wing?

I think its to do with downforce, further foward means a bit less further back and you get a bit more...

If your car nose dives when landing jumps, move the wing further back, if the nose lifts a lot then move the wing foward...

I might be wrong though, im sure Kev can confirm?
