In my opinion, that is a dirty turbulent solution.

Some sort of edge strengthening or even a middle spar for support as done on some rear wings could work. And like those solutions some aero-fairing of the returns (back portion) should be done.

19bonestock88, how did you determine you are getting more drag now?

Seat of the pants feeling?

Roll down tests?

MPG?

It looked like a very good start to me.

Was it flexing at all?

Did you hear fluttering?
