Did you look at the paper I referenced? If so did you just decide that you'd rather maybe do an 18° slope and only gain a 10% reduction in your Cd and INCREASE the lift coefficient over base by 65% instead of a 16.2% reduction in Cd and a 50% decrease (Down force added) that you'd get with 10°? That way with the 18° you'd have less usable space too?
