Dear Scott:
What is happening here?
Me? Scare
YOU? Hahahahahaha! Nah!!
Me? Discredit your design? No way!
What is happening here?
What is happening here is the normal, messy human-to-human process of communication, aided and hindered by the electronic medium through which you and I communicate: the forum board.
When you started your build thread and I started reading it, both you and I did not know a lot of things (be patient! Just follow along a bit longer).
Here is an example you gave of something you did not know of before you encountered it:
You did not know something, you found out, you learned, and you changed it.
Here is what I did NOT know about you before the aerodynamic question of your SLC came up: your aims and your methodology.

So, Scott, because I knew what Fran and team had done, and I did not know that you would pull back a design that is unsafe, I posted the cautionary photo of the Porsche. As you yourself noted, even Porsche, with all their computers and history and knowledge, did not account for a car that
So, who is afraid?
Me.
For whom am I afraid?
You.
What am I afraid of?
Your safety.
BUT,
NOW I know that you are:
and that you have
and
to the extent that
because
The time lag of the forum introduced the misunderstanding.
Fortunately, you told me (and all of us) more about yourself and your design goals, and Fran is telling you more about the SLC's aerodynamics.
Whew!
You are in good hands.
