Never seen this before, to be perfectly honest I’ve had it for a while now and before looking at it closely I thought it was a homemade aluminum wing.
It’s thin, somewhat flexible, yet strong as well.
Any idea what company may have made this ?

These were made by Composite Craft.

I used to run them on my indoor Mid carpet racer and still have a couple of them. More recently I was actually sent a brand new one for my Mid rebuild.

As you say, very strong and absolutely feather light!

My original one still in storage, and a new undrilled one. I have a third one on an 870C too. I know I do have a fourth one with a floro Novak sticker across it but i don't seem to have a photo.

Quite cool items and something you don't see very often, now, or back then.

Here's number four with the Novak sticker.... looks like it was retired to the door of my pit box due to a split at the mounting point hole.

Composite Craft, of course ! Thank you dinglem
You have a fine collection of them.
I was hoping it was CC, the material weave looks just like that of the upper chassis of my CC worlds car.
Any idea of the year range they were available ?

Well my indoor Mid days were 88-90ish.

Bit of an older thread, but i noted the graphite wing availability dates were being discussed. This advert is for the pre-Composite Craft days, so D&D Graphite.

This advert is from a 1986 UK mag, so they were clearly available that early.
I also purchased a UK lightweight RC10 and when I tracked down the original owner he sent me a photo of the very same car surrounded by trophies from 1986... and the car was sporting one of these graphite wings.
