- Update 13: Building, fabricating, constructing a Formula 1000 race car front wing using a moldless technique with epoxy & fiberglass over a styrofoam foam core airfoil shape cut with a homemade hot-wire foam cutter. Laminated with aluminum mounts to allow jacking the front of the car by the wing. We also make front wing endplates using a fiberglass honeycomb sandwich layup.

I'd love to have a guy like this next to me on a battlefield in a war. He just sounds so calm and in control.
I randomly found your videos on youtube, and I am so glad I did. Learning a bunch of cool stuff watching them, so thank you very much for posting!
Very informative my friend! Thanks for taking the time to post your series! DMAX motion sim
Nice videos, I've enjoyed greatly watching them. A good way to keep the cutting wire at the correct attitude (especially with longer parts requiring two people, and tapered parts) is to put evenly spaced marks on the pattern with numbers, and practice to reach these marks in unison. Also since the styrofoam does not work well in very thin parts, the trailing edge in model and full-size airplane construction using hot wire cutters are cut off and finished with a strip of wood (aspen, balsa, pine, etc) sanded to shape. Makes a bit more defined trailing edge.
a Big thanks, an awesome video, I am about to make a new front wing for my F1000, found this site and will see how I go over the next couple of months, Thanks for sharing your works,
Amazing work 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
Love it man about to build a 71 inch wing but I'm going to do carbon fiber and vacuum forms
Love these videos. You're a legend for putting them up and sharing. What adhesive was used to get the aluminium and foam to bond together?
It's not very important what adhesive you use, because once it's stronger than the foam, the foam will break first. I just used the same 2-part epoxy I used for everything else to guarantee things stayed straight while fiberglassing. Essentially all the strength comes from the fiberglass skin.
Thanks for sharing :-)
Wow is impresionant this an genius creative god to blend
Will you please do a quick video on your jack? Did you make it yourself?
Hello Sir,Can you tell me the type of foam you have used to make the airfoil ?
Wondering, how are the bolts/nuts screwed into the fiberglass? Or are they in the frame? I want to make a hollow wing for my car. I am wondering how I could mount two bolts into the wing, that would connect back into two holes on my hatch, so I can secure the wing down with not only two bolts, but the whatever double sided tape(super strong stuff sorry forgot the name).
what aluminium alloy are you using?
Hi from New Zealand!! I'm currently building my own race car so I'm watching all of you videos with intent! My question is, where did the shape of the wing come from? I'm very keen to give the whole thing a go but I'm struggling to find a template to cut the shape. Would you be willing to share?
Thanks in advance!

doesn't styrofoam melt from epoxy??
What fiberglass epoxy resin do you use?
Why not substitute carbon fiber for fiber glass and al.?
As great as the wing design is, I think my favorite feature is the jack/jackstand at th-cam.com/video/SeNCDJwJO14/w-d-xo.html. It works just like my motorcycle stands, and I don't really understand why that isn't the standard design for race cars.
+Jesse O'Brien Thanks! I'll be doing a video about the quickstand soon.
How do you go about designing a Formula 1000 car. My group wants to build a formula car for our senior project
There's a post on my Facebook page, facebook.com/LudemannEngineering/, called "How to start designing a race car". It provides a good introduction.
How did you determine the airfoil shape you wanted for the wings and tunnel?
+Raging Grognard The front wing is a profile from a university research paper where they used something like a genetic algorithm so a computer could try many designs and find the best one. According to my CFD tests, it works extremely well.
Have you ever thought of making this like an airplane wing , out of aluminum? Thanks
+Bobby John I considered doing it that way, but it would take a lot longer and be easier to damage, I think. Airplane wings don't tend to bash into curbs...
is the honeycomb foam sheets for vacuum processing only???
Good question. I think you'd have trouble getting adhesion between the fiberglass and the honeycomb because of the uneven surface, but I haven't tried it.
Do you mind sharing the type of foam and epoxy resin that you use?? Thanks much!
I think it's Polyurethane Foam, and search a Resin that sticks well to it
Do you live in Thailand ?
How many spares you plan on fabricating? ;)
+hippyjason No spares on the prototype, but once we start making copies we'll probably start making them ten at a time.
Definitly some mosquitos in that composite)

must weight 50 lbs
Two layers of fiberglass over styrofoam, with two 1/8" aluminum bulkheads and honeycomb endplates, strong enough to lift car by, and strong enough to withstand hundreds of pounds of downforce. Weighs 13.4 lbs. including paint and stickers. Your estimate is off by 273%. Your channel has no content. Say hi to your mom for me.
To the "ron m" who recently graced us with his presence but has now blocked me or deleted his account, and to anyone else who wants to talk smack. I will call you out, I will send you out the airlock, and I will memorialize your brilliance. Here's a transcript of our little talk:
ron m: "must weight 50 lbs" {grammatical errors include failure to capitalize proper nouns 2x, double space, misspelling 'weigh', failure to end an abbreviation with a period. Pretty impressive for a comment only 19 characters long.}
Me: Two layers of fiberglass over styrofoam, with two 1/8" aluminum bulkheads and honeycomb endplates, strong enough to lift car by, and strong enough to withstand hundreds of pounds of downforce. Weighs 13.4 lbs. including paint and stickers. Your estimate is off by 273%. Your channel has no content. Say hi to your mom for me.
As the weight is 13.4 lbs, could it be interesting to replace a couple of layers of fiberglass by an aluminium rod inserted in the aerofoil? This way you wouldn't get the added inaccuracies on your aerofoil by just adding layer after layer.
Furthermore, the weight of an insert of more than sufficient strength would be around 0.5-1 lbs. (assuming 1.5m front wing width).
Lastly, using an aluminium insert could give possibilities for an excentric front wing mount, which would make adjusting the front wing more tedious, but grants possibilities to massively clean up the airflow around the adjuster plates.
This Wing Profile is not able to generate a good Downforce. Ask a Pro!
