So that answers the question about the cockpit opening. The sight-line requirements and CDF analysis point the way. Bringing the fairing forward to cover the back of the helmet looks like a good move if the rules allow it.

What materials did you use on the two previous iterations? The beveled sides on the first one look like they would provide a little more front wheel clearance. Did the blunt nose and longer tail show any improvement?
