I might get shot.
I actually plan to have it say " AIRBRAKE" on the underside, so that people would know what it is, and not think the car was falling apart.
I still think it would come as a shock to people though, since you don't expect parts to suddenly move on a car.

Do you think the idea could work ?
I plan to call Tower hobbies and ask them about it.
The main hurdle I see right now, is the voltage.
12 volts from a car battery signal going to a signal lamp, versus what you see on an R/C plane.

I have seen some massive planes that are R/C, so I would think there are certainly some servos that would have enough torque to handle a large flap moving into 80 mph airflow.
