Wow. Just wow.

And aerodynamically speaking, the tail could be somewhat more aggressive than yours, right? So it could end up shorter by some amount, which (technically) means that it could be slightly better (if optimal) even than what you've gotten already...

Does it get better than this?

So what were you thinking in your head for an estimate of performance while testing?

Did you think the first couple runs were glitches? I mean... a 15% improvement is huge to see...
