Yeah t vago, lift is good for aircraft, bad for aerocaps.

The wind tunnel tests I did on my Aerolid in the A2 wind tunnel in North Carolina showed a significant increase in lift too. My lid is around a 12 degree slope. The students thesis shows a reduction in lift, at 12 degrees, which does contradict the data derived from test on my lid in the A2 wind trunnel.
