You could use differential with the deflection. 3 or 4 times as much up as down will fly the plane well. Have done this successfully for years.

If it's a side exhaust DLE 55 it will be fine with the Beila 20x10x3. I have used that for years in the big P-40. Also use a Xoar 22x8x3 which is a little slower, but not that much.

I have had mine 2 years. It is intact in the same area where yours is lacking integrity. No body else has reported this issue, and that's why you need to call Tower about a replacement.
