D4 Lowered or modded rear wing anyone?

[gramey]

Has anyone tried mounting their rear wing lower or cut the wing down from kit height, mine just seems to act as a huge air brake on the straights?

you can just cut the rear flap down to reduce the effect you're on about..

I know exactly what you mean however.. I don't have a d4, but i get the same effect on my b4 and bj4 when running a full flapped 7 inch wing.

I've about 4 different wings as i belive they are a very useful tuning aid,

full flap,
3/4 flap
1/2 flap
0 flap

Each is very effective through various conditions, somthing you may be interested in trying?

Hi. I've mounted my wing a little lower than standard.
You can drill a hole between the existing 2 in the shock tower and mount the wing using only 1 screw. The bottom of the wing mounts do spread apart a little but they are held in place by the gear box. I've had no problems running the wing like this.

It does help a little over the jumps. The main thing to try for better jumping is to trim the vertical section at the rear of the wing. I cut min down to about 1/2 height in the centre and flare the cut back up to the full height at the side pods.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that guy's, I'll order some wings and have a play with different height vertical flpas.
