Astro's Vert Build

sooooo one thing led to another and I test fitted the bracketry...not bad

It's going to still sway like hell. Do a cross cable between two high points on the stands. I am going to have beams welded instead of cable

ya you can really feel how much it moves even without the wing on.

welll shiiiiiiiiitttttt while going out to a meeting this happened sad day for super wing

DatsunFTW · 04-04-2016, 02:36 PM

Judging by the fact that you still haven't done cross cables it had too much stress or your angle of attack was way too harsh.. Is how I believe it happened

DatsunFTW · 04-04-2016, 02:36 PM

Did you run tension rods from the chassis bracket to the chassis? Because it will still have a tiny bit of back and fort movement.

well I have pipe for mine that the teaded rods hold in and then I have crosscables, there really is next to no sway in it. Im not entirely sure Ill probly just ditch the crap wing and go get on from Goodaero

astro932 · 04-04-2016, 07:36 PM

I honestly can tell though the wing isnt upto the amount of downforce it can generate, it flexes wayy to much to actually do enough so oh well on to expensive aero

DatsunFTW · 04-04-2016, 07:39 PM

Have you even tried it? Had a track day with it? Because it is effective when put into real stress. I know fiberglass can flex. Which is why true track drivers get carbon. I made that mistake of not getting a carbon deck which is why I bought a carbon roll and will be using the frp wing as a mould.

not on track but the backroads I take are just as fast as being on track and ya you can feel the diference it makes but you know it would be way more if the thing was ridged... but it served its use I do like how it looks and with a real wing itll be even better

DatsunFTW · 04-04-2016, 07:44 PM

A wing is only effective at 80mph plus. I doubt the back roads you take keep you at those speeds.
