    The Krill Ultimate isn't too hard to assemble, but of course I'm not the one doing it, I'm just a spectator.

    A friend of mine was cutting wing cores for his racer back then and gave me a set. The rest was designed on the fly. I might have drawn it up, but it was 25+ years ago so I really don't remember. I do know the airfoil is basically semi flat bottom at the root and symmetrical at the tip.
