Default Can your Spyder wing do this?

Has anyone verified under what circumstances the rear wing raises up to this height? I believe it can't be done manually correct?

I was told by knowledgable SA the wing cannot be extended to that distance manually only by high speed 100 mph?

Can you tell us more about the "service position". How do you put it in the "service position" and how do you put it down? I ask because mine came back from the shop with the tail up in the "service position". I didn't think twice about it on the way to the garage, but I think the tail was still up when I parked it.

Yes,

The spoiler button on the console raises/lowers the spoiler to service position.

What a crock, I'm sure we can get a software change to get it to go into fully erect position when we are driving less than 75mph no?
