I notice that some of the airplane slopes (on the top front) are made of 33
degree on the front, and 45 degree on the 2 sides. Perhaps TLC should create 2
pieces from this 3 sided slope, so that it could have applications elsewhere,
such as a roof with different angled slopes. They could do the same for the
inside corners. But the problem would be the gable connectors on the roof ridge
of such a mixed slope structure.
