Eg of tarped load.

Ideal would have been to fill the gap from underneaththe tarp to tuch the tail finn instead of 4'from the rear. Some glad bags will help with thisin the future, as it was this was the maiden voyage for cap and this is what I got.

What angle on the gate(absolute angle to level)?

I may go as simple as a simple I.M.C.A. stile 2"×.125 tube . Bumper .Insted of a hand built role pan, to cover the hitch.

Airfoil could be flat. Purpose for airfoil is to streamline the 4.5"sq ×1/4" hitch cross tube. It would be nice if the tail of the Airfoil was positioned to be a step when the gate is closed/open like the current step bumper

Easy to clean snow bugers is a design requirement , they can over load a 1ton truck from a bad design.
