...one design I thought of was to have to actual cednter 'blade' movable. It semi-locks in the down position, but can then be raised using a pair of small air actuated cylinders (aprox 2.0" of travel) operating on the engines vacuum source, much like the corvettes headlight buckets work. The vacuum to the cyliders is controlled by a 12 Volt solinoid valve; switched from inside the cockpit, OR if your are 'forgetful', have it switched by a micro-switch on the lip of the spoiler itself, although the micro-switch would NOT fuction fast enough if you were driving 'at speed'. I was going to install this on a Trans-Am, I once owned. The spoiler was a 1/4" thick 'Blade' of aluminum. Very custom and unique! I still have all the parts...
