Tygen1,I've got two shots of the tail plus a video of its install and the record runs at Ft.Stockton.
The picture we need to look at I have made a digital image of,will enlarge,cut out,and place on a neutral gray background.
The photographer used some crazy "dramatic" effect with this shot and it makes it very difficult to "see" the car.
Christ has this photo and posted it at a different thread,but I don't remember where.Sorry.
I'll do this image but can't say when.
What I can tell you is that the tail's descending angle,measured from the horizon,is 9-degrees ( one degree less than what Dr. Kamm recommended ).The sides of the cone basically follow the angle established by the cars boattailed flanks ( an overhead view of a blue EV-1 is in the "IMAGES" somewhere )
When the tail is on the EV-1,the angle,measured from the end of the tail,up to top of the roof creates a 15-degree angle.
Hope that helps get you off dead center.
