I wonder how the Probe would be with a template front?
I figured as such. But being pressured to the surface or not, it's still "attached". The air is not tumbling aimlessly around the corner.

I'll try to get a template front on the Vogn although it will be too long and narrow to simply follow all the way back. Hoping to cut out the profile tonight. I came down with a sore throat and hope it's not a budding cold
