Maybe we should be looking at the flight limitations of our body vs mechanical corrections.

From what I have been reading and from what I have learned from you and all your track time I think you are solid enough in your tuning skillls to dial in this particular truck for any situations. We might have just reached it aero limitations in this particular jump and spped combination.

Just like a formula one, nascar , outlaw car all the suspension tweaks and motor can do so much then it all becomes aero with wings and vents and tunnels to properly control the airflow around the chassis

Have you tried running without a body .... what did that yeild.
I have not tried without a body but tried all of my bodies and funny thing is it actually flies better with a solid body and very few cutouts? Since i have to run a body no sense of me entertaining that idea. Watching the truck parachute definitely appears to be a lightweight/speed/body problem. As Jeff said it just stalls while in the air. You are correct though it is a limitation of the combo, but there just has to be a way to get around it..........
