Recommended starting AOA for APR wing
For those running an APR wing (GTC-200), what would you recommend for a starting AOA setting assuming no front aero (Aka no splitter) ? I figured right out of the gate, I would set it level related to the ground and play with it from there but figured I would ask as I know plenty on here run the same wing. AP1 with pretty much a standard STR setup so the car is lowered about an inch and is on a 255 square setup.
0 AoA to start.
Measure by laying a flat plane sheet of something (a ruler) across both the leading edge of the "3D" part of the wing and the trailing edge, then put your digital bubble leveler on top of that. Don't just lay the leveler measurement tool only on the "flat" part of the 3d element of the wing and set that to 0 AoA - you'll have too much AoA and the car will push.
At a properly set 0 AoA, the 3d element part will actually look like it has negative angle set to it and is facing slightly upwards.
If you've been driving wingless on track for a good amount of time - adding the wing, even at 0 AoA will feel make the car feel like it's on rails and like you have unlimited amounts of grip. It's extremely confidence inspiring.

Awesome thanks for the feedback. Thanks for the clarification on the measurement points too. I kinda thought that was the best way to measure but was not 100% certain based upon the shape. Will use a straight edge and my digital angle gauge and set it up that way once it arrives.
