Hi Peter,

I wonder if a higher section MIGHT be more effective (but more unaesthetic).

Vetter's fence on the tail of his streamliner is 1" (per Vetter) high. It looks to be a piece of 1" aluminum flat stock from the local home center.

As I had said earlier, I wish I had a streamliner to experiment on.
