We did not. Was told the molds are worn out and possibly gone. We can get the modern version of their F3F in a similar layup. The CrossOver/CrossFire are direct decedents of the NyX.

Another option I am thinking of ordering for myself is this one:

The videos on that page are the stock wing carbon wing. They do not suggest pushing that wing as hard as it was in the high speed video, but don't worry, they make a "hard" version that is a full carbon skin, no foam or balsa in the skin. That is the beast wing.
I'm very close to ordering myself a stock wing for slope and thermal flights. Seems to nice wide range of performance.

5 are coming Ray - 3 double carbon and 2 single carbon shipping next week. There is a lot of interest so it might be a good idea to call Wayne.

Do you have a link / picture to the Sonnet and Scout? Google searching did not get me anywhere.
Thanks!

Double carbon version is stiffer than the single version. If you want to go crazy fast - which this model will do - and also be a little more hardy over a long lifetime, then double carbon would be the way to go.
