I usually set mine up for 8-9 degrees as measured along the top two high points... you look about 13+ degrees from the pic, which is way too much for this wing... You might be able to get a chart from aeromotions but my understanding is the sweet spot between drag and download is 8-9 (not much more down after that but a lot more drag)

Consider getting a thin aluminum angle strip that you can use as a gurney flap, and once you apply it with a strong adhesive, then run some electrical tape along the sides

A number of racers I trust told me to reverse the side plates... I think aeromotions did it the way they did to have a cool look, but *I think* they a bit more efficient reversed... could be wrong, but this side plates are backwards from most other designs... when you reverse them, the holes should line up fine
Yeah, I don't have an angle gauge and just eyeballed it. Brian said his is a bit lower, but they are planning to raise it to about where mine is. I think I'm going to start a little lower and see how it works out, and adjust from there. With the turnbuckles, it will be fairly easy.
