I have the Getty Design sport duck tail. Pretty much a carbon copy of the 997 Sport Classic duck.

Default Flying ducktail


I have the flying ducktail out of Taiwan. It a carbon fibre, well made and is supplied with the early 911 style grill and brake light. It replaces the existing wing so I have disabled the lift using the Foxwell NT510/520 diagnostic/ coding tool. Very happy with it. For purchase best to befriend Steve Chou the owner in Facebook and use Messenger as I found communicating via their website poor to non existent

Hey csmab, I’m assuming you have to disable the wing lifting at speed?

Isn't the whole point of this ducktail that it can continue to be used without having to disable the active aero? Have you tried it lifted at speed?

I'm planning to do the Getty ducktail, but want to know if it's ok for street driving without a front splitter.

How about some pics of the underside. Never seem to get to see that on these, and with the ducting. Would be interested in someones 997.2 ducktail setup from underneath too.

Interesting...can you snap a pic of the tail when it's deployed? You can still do that manually, yeah?

I'll see if I can upload some later tonight. There are a few pics available in this forum or you can do a quick google search.

No issues with stability. I’m sure if you are pushing past 140ish perhaps you might notice something. However, the original decklid was deployed at above 75 with no front spoiler. Not sure there is a huge amount of additional downforce with the duck compared to the stock decklid. Maybe some but probably negligible unless you are on the Autobahn running flat out.

Correct. You disable the active decklid spoiler and program the computer that you have installed a fixed rear spoiler so you don’t get a warning light at 75mph.
