The Obsession UC design uses a single long strip of teflon (and rounds out the front edge) to help eradicate the "bump" in the join in the break apart altitude fins.
Having a single piece of Teflon also means that you can design the front of the altitude fins so that they are shorter than if you had the separate pads at 70 degrees. So, this means that the SDM UC altitude fins do not go any higher than the UTA when it is storage mode anyway, negating the need to have them fold over, unless you want to store it under your bed. As long as they are above the centre of gravity it won't tip over.
If you look at the photos you will see what I mean. I would have gone this way with the 22" if I hadn't already got the parts cut first - would simplify construction.
