Paul;
I think that testing different shapes will be the only way to get a
definitive answer to that question.

.....where it was 0 degrees C this morning--- yes, it does get cold in
the desert! It was 23F Monday morning.

I've been trying to decide how to bring the rear most part of the
bodywork
to a conclusion, given the need for tubes for chutes/exhaust......... it
isn't possible to bring the bodywork totally to a point unless I mould
in
the tubes afterwards. So.... do I do this or employ the so called "Kamm
effect" my limited knowledge (far too limited!) suggests only wind
tunnel
testing will show the answer, have to wait and see.
Cheers, Paul. In the UK where it was 3 degrees C when I opened up this
morning.
