Intersting idea, never considered that.

Those who need to haul something a little taller might not incur too much aero penalty (compared to fully open box) by simply removing the lid. It could be a selling point if test data supports the hypothesis.
That would be an intersting aspect of the Aerolid to study. I do need to do a complete ABA testing of the Aerolid and this spring will be a good time to do it. Warm temperatures and calm winds are ideal for this type of test.

The idea of running the Aerolid without the roof on it, which I have done very little of, is indeed something to look into.

Thanks KamperBob and you guys are my inspiration too,
