I will get the cuff, doors and top all between 11 deg ( 5 over 1) & 12.5 deg (4.5 over 1).

I will test at 11 deg before removing the VGs.

Aerohead - the exposed down facing winglet is what allows me to adjust door angle while in development. I think with doors at about 11 degrees the winglet is all swallowed up. It will be sawed off when I am done.
I knew that it was a 'necessary evil', and I'd have done the same thing.
