That looks to be a stronger wheelie bar than the flat designs I've seen. The problem with most metal designs is that when it bends, it stays there. Now, if some sort of very stiff spring were to be used at the bend, or made of spring steel, that should work too. Or maybe make it out of the plastic RPM uses. Something that allows some degree of flex for those rough landings while maintaining enough stiffness to function as a wheelie bar.

But yes, please do let us know how it holds up. I might just use the wing as a bar since others use it and it seems to hold up...
