Canards and Dive Planes, 99 spec compatible

Who makes Canards for the 99 spec bumper? Looking for something smaller and simpler. I want to avoid Re-Amemiya style ones like the Bubble Tech set. R Magic makes a set I like but it seems like it will only fit on their bumper.

So, what's out there?

Take clues from the R-spec bumper. In fact, try to find an r-spec bumper. That seems to be the most elegant solution.

I just removed an Re-A bumper, not trying to swap bumpers again. Just looking for something to maybe balance out the existing widebody a bit. Already planing on a shortish plywood splitter/undertray

You’re already used to swapping out bumpers. I say go big or go home.
(keep in mind I’m just pulling your leg.. finding little independent dive planes can also work)

I don't see canards on the site?


I see Leg Motorsports makes some but I'm not really liking the design. FEED makes a set that "can be modified to fit 99 spec". So far I'm leaning that way, not much else out there from what I see

Should have looked closer, scuff plates!

I'm sure I've seen carbon canards on there some time in the past too. Looked at a Knightsports catalogue from ~ 10 years ago the other day, and they had "proto" canards on a nosecone that looked very close to S8.

Topstage Composites in Melbourne have made them in the past I know, wouldn't expect them to be a stocked item however.
