How far could you move it?

Having some trouble following your train of thought. Are you implying the force from the drs actuator acts in a downward direction on the beam wing, essentially increasing the AoA of the beam wing? would this not be in opposition to what is desired upon activating the drs? Maybe I'm reading your idea wrong...Shrieker wrote:Yeah, why not ? Isn't that what the flexi rear wings were aiming for after all ? Theoretically, "the thing" at the top of the central pillar is a winch that applies force to the flap to pull it upwards; a winch with a fulcrum point at the bottom of the pillar where it meets the beam wing
So how do you think that traffic in the pitlane is coped with...no lollipop man to judge if it's safe to release the car?scarlet wrote:New pitstop light system looks interesting: http://xpb.cc/viewpicture.asp?id=473490
I'm guessing: Each corner of the car has its own set of red and green lights. From the top, front jack, front wheels, rear wheels, rear jack. Bottom set turns from red to green when everything is done.
It would make sense to have a spotter on the other side of the lane with a button tied into the system. He'd press it when there was traffic coming and it would overrive the green light at the bottom.KeiKo403 wrote:So how do you think that traffic in the pitlane is coped with...no lollipop man to judge if it's safe to release the car?scarlet wrote:New pitstop light system looks interesting: http://xpb.cc/viewpicture.asp?id=473490

Please Lewis, no more crashes.
