Yes, I know what you mean about the pop rivets pulling through. It was too windy today to do any meaningful testing, however, the gauge showed over 70mpg with a 30 mph tail wind for several miles at 55 mph. The flow might be detached under the boat tail, judging by the spray in a tailgater's headlights and leaves on the road..I may have lower the bottom surface. Maybe tuft testing next weekend.
