Aww you should do one too and compare notes..
For me launching an angle sometimes can be problematic since I like to put the rail buttons up off of the ground which means they're offset slightly on the top right or bottom right so if the rail is angled that means it's hanging with a twist and you have to put Wing supports to keep it from binding, on the smaller models where they're directly on the top or the bottom it's not so big a deal.

Coo!!
Excited that my musings might have nudged you into trying this….
I might have to do the Athena since you are doing the Vulcan…
My BT101 is quite old. A buddy bought two full boxes at a price of 1-2 bucks each at a close out sale in the mid 1990s.
I would think that you could safely stretch to 33-34 oz, with a slightly inclined launch rail. Over the years, most of my RC RG tended to be launched at a slight to moderate angle, except for the SR-71. Note the typical launch angle of the Aerotech Phoenix. Some have noted the the AT Phoenix falls off a little bit at this angle on the G8, but is easily controllable.
