[Land-speed] Spoiler Questions..

[drmayf]

I am about to embark on building a spoiler for the world's fastest 
sunbeam (wannabe). But before I get too deep into it, I'd like to hear 
from some of your real fabricators about how to do some things, 
materials used, ect. I have read the rule book and have chatted some 
with Dan Warner. so I have some answers already. I need to purchase 
materials, so what thicknesses did you use for the spill plates? How 
about for the main spoiler chord? Was what you built adjustable? I want 
the sunbeam unit to be capable of changing the angle of attack in the 
pit. Did you use a hinge at the point where the spoiler meets the body 
line Heck, is a hinge even legal? Fill plates: how did you attach them 
to the spoiler or to the car?  How wide did you make the spoiler chord? 
Why?   Are under chord siffeners legal? They would go from side to side 
just o keep the chord from flexing. 

I would love to hear off list from any and all of you who have 
successfully built a spoiler with the end spill plates and for sure, if 
you have a picure or two you might share then that would be even 
better!  I define success as one that has made it through a record run 
and any potential protests or Dan, whichever comes first, lol...

many thanks in advance,
