Add to that a possible leading edge wind shear down force effect really sounds like a probbable UFO sighting.
But It is a good evolution to the full frontage spoiler of old.
Mabe I can make it adjustable to get best pitch at variable speeds???
Thanks for the Thanks. "brackett" - gotta start somewhere somehow. Measurements on the button but will vary. "adjustable" - both at the blade and at the plate, arm length variation gives in and out adjustment for fixed mount. In a dream world it would deploy and and adjust.

I'm submitting my petition for this to be moved to the corral, unless some tangible testing is done sometime soon (which I doubt).

Yes I am new to ecomodder, and even to forum writing. Gee there is some passion here. Didn't know you could get urinated on!

The first pic is the Kia. The second is the Ford. Before I even knew what A-B-A was I ran the Rio many miles, logged lots of data trying to keep as objective as possible. I am recently working with the Focus testing as I can. Will get A-B-A data.

For those that might have trouble finding them here are the gallery photos from the funding site.










I second the notion to move it to the corral. The lack of data makes this another fuel line magnet kit until proven otherwise.

OP best of luck, I would love to see the testing done.
