COOL.

I think 'too steep' is a good place to start. I would suggest tuft testing while incrementally raising the trailing edge until attached flow is indicated. Then you know you're getting the most bang for the buck, as it were.
The only problem with that strategy is filling in the sides afterwards.

I also think plexi is the material of choice. Good job, modmonster!
