Default Re: Delay wing deployment to 75 mph

Every time I wind out the motor in third gear and get off the throttle I've hit 60 mph and the wing keeps popping up during deceleration. I think 75 mph would be perfect and reduce wear and tear on the linkage and electric motor.

Any suggestions?
Maxwell, I just tapped into the fuse box on the drivers side and "hot wired" the wing fuse with a "on-off" switch and I can shut the wing down until I hit the switch, at what ever speed I want it to go up.
Just be sure to put an in-line fuse to take the place of the original fuse that you pulled.
