Hope that makes some sense.

If my "learned from reading about WWII planes" engineering means anything (hah!) I might suspect that the further back you put disruptive elements in the air flow, the better it will perform... Probably wrong, but I'd be curious. I won't be sporting this kind of aero any time soon, regardless...
