Educated guess is that some small company made a small run of them and they are no longer available. Or someone made it for themselves.

The cost to have just one of those made wouldn't be worth the expense. Though in that same line of thinking I'm also told it's not worth the expense of keeping a 20yr old vert running.

Yea I could have one made, but as we all know when something is mass produced its MUCH cheaper. I wonder if Aeroworks would be able to cheaply make me one....like around the $250 range.

The duckbill is prolly the only spoiler that looks good on a vert IMHO, and it would look really good with the Aeroworks CF TII front lip.

Only wings or spoilers I'd put on my vert are a duckbill or RB vert specific pedestal wing. RB haven't been made in a long time and only one exists that I know of.

But to be honest I like the stock vert look...very minimalist and on a vert a wing or spoiler is really pointless..it's not doing anything but adding weight and looks.

the mold will get made and the part will be offered, but if in the process we can get 10 buyers paying upfront you guys can get it at 175.00 plus shipping.
i answered all the PM so will see if i have one in the mail soon, Thanks.
