That did it, Al. Worked perfectly, except that the spring pushes full open. Working to get it to settle at 70% would've required a lot more fiddling, and I'm not sure that it would stay at 70% when under full airflow. I just didn't think the springs would be strong enough to stand the air pressure of both ram air and the engine sucking. I don't know if it would be blow closed or fully open, so I decided that it would be safest to have it blown full open and biased it that way.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
