Follow up to this thread: I must have forgot to mention that the testing with the Type 7, the blue fairing that tilts (pictured in Original Post), showed that the best angle for a Flat Plate would be Fifty-Four Degrees. I have taken pen to paper, along with a Protractor, and drawn a geometrical diagram of what 54 degrees is supposed to look like.

Secondly, I have re-measured the Spoiler of the Type 11, and it seems to have come out at 56 Degrees. Not quite perfect. Maybe the Coroplast bends when the Quarter-Twenty bolts are tightened. Or maybe it has settled from carrying too much weight.



I meant to include this when I started this thread, sorry for the delay.
