Well, I'm not over technical but from an interesting article I read (UK Porsche and 911 World I think) I seem to remember that the front spoiler came first and with that in place the back end became a little light- hence the ducktails and ultimatly the whaletails. Both being spoilers being needed to work with each other.

You could always take a leaf out of the early porsche-spec book......remove the front spoiler, take the rear off to balance the effect and then put some big lead weights in the front to it on the ground at speed. Alternatively two large batteries gave a similar effect!

I agree your model looks pretty good without the tail.
regards
