anybody using the GT-Racing Predator wing?

Anybody have experience with using this wing? I am considering the 70" piece for my 914 tube chassis car and don't know much about how good/bad this wing is.

Seems like a nice piece, but I haven't heard the best things about this company's products...

Thanks,
Tim

Im also interested in what anyone has to say (been looking at one of those myself). Didn't they also use to sell a constant angle of attack wing? It SOUNDED like a good idea and I noticed the factory C6Rs now use something like that (and they aren't exactly poorly funded, slow, or ignorant - so it must work even a little.)

I have the Predator Carbon Fiber Wing from GT Racing on my track only 914-6. It is the 60 inch version. I really like it and I can feel the difference in the settings. I have holes drilled for zero, three and seven degrees.

The guy who builds the wings for Hank and GT seems to do a good with the quality. Mine has had no issues. The only thing I really don't like is the styling of the uprights. They are beefy, but not very attractive.

I have attached a few pics of my car with the wing. The tube between the extensions was added by me to help stablilize the wing in case someone pushes on it. I also auto-x as well as track the car and too many people can touch it.....
