COcyclist, I think you're right, when I get to the point where I have more to post I'll start over with a new thread. I'm a little concerned I got the angles too steep also but it's too late to change it now. Getting the bottom angles to be identical to the top and sides was a challenge but I think I figured out how to do it last night about 3AM.

It will take a week of 'spare' time to finish the framework on the bottom and skin it. As soon as that is done the Mrs is making me up some tale tells or however you spell that. If that testing shows the flow is right I'll do some mileage testing. If the tell tales show the flow is not right I'll dismantle it, make a bigger rear frame to reduce the angles, straighten out the ribs a little and do it again.
