Leaving drag out of the mix, Using the XP rules, is a wing more effective for getting down force than a spoiler. I've always assumed the wing is better, but have exactly 0 proof of this. The expense of a wing can go right through the roof (over 10K has been quoted).....this makes the cheep-assed spoiler look pretty good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
If a guy had a cross section pattern of an effective wing ( bling wings need not apply) DIY would make sense.....but is it worth the effort? Note: XP limits the total ( that would include a dual element) wing area to 8 sq. feet. |
