Certain generalizations can be made in aerodynamics. This is not one of those instances.
If Neon wants to build something, or Basjoos wants to build something, or one of us who DO things rather than just ***** about it, we need a generalization to start with.

And, 20 degrees on top and sides is a good place to start, and 10 degrees on the bottom is a good place to start.

Go ahead and *****, or go ahead and offer a better angle to start with.
