neck angle's... again

I knoooow there have been 1000 topics about neck angles, none of wish refer to my build specs, so sorry guys, yet another neck angle topic :D As far as my thinking goes, I won't need any angle, therefore im asking for a double check, just in case. my top in compeltely flat, no dome whatsoever fretboard is 5mm thick, that would be +- 6 mm including frets. bridge will be 5 mm thick. 5 mm from the bridge + 3mm saddle height above the bridge makes 8mm string height over the top. With no neck angle this would make a action of 2 mm (wich might be too low). Im assuming the top will tend to bulk up a bit under string tension, I have no idea how much obviously, and there will be a bunch of factors involved in the eventual dome. I don't expect to top to reach a final dome under string tension of more than 2 mm, no idea if this is realistic though. If necesary I could always taper my fretboard slightly. Realy curious what you guys think, will a flat top under tension will get a dome or not?, and howmuch dome I should expect. EDIT: dont mind spelling please :D

hmm i guess it didnt work out exactly as I was hoping, i think i might need to build a new stronger solera, i think i bent the solera a bit while clamping the back. right now i have a slight angle to wrong way... I already planed my fretboard to 5 mm a while ago, i currently dont have any other fretboard to use, so i quickly modified this fretboard since I wont be able to use this fretboard for any other guitars, so might aswell experiment with it. I tapering it from 5 mm at the nut to about 3,5 at the very last fret, and this seems to give me a good 2,3 mm action (frets included) with a string height of 8,5 at the bridge. It does look a bit odd but i think i can make it work this way, not realy happy about doing it this way, but this does make it a challenge for me for upcoming flamenco's I'm deffinatly going to building more in the future.
