They only offer us two different lengths,as a percentage of overall body length and without a 3rd example,we've got nothing to create a curve from,nor interpolate/extrapolate.
With the two versions shown they only structure the drag and lift as a function of up-sweep angle.
For us,we can only inspect what we've got and see which variety would best suit us,then go from there,hoping for the best.
