...but I'm no mathmatician...

Many times we've heard that a 15 degree slope is about maximum for the tail end of a vehicle. What is that as a ratio? 1:5? 1:6.357? If I knew, I could easily sketch it out on my graph paper. Ah, maybe I SHOULD have paid attention in class, instead of drawing Spads and Fokkers...
