Excellent! This will be interesting.

Suggestions... Well, there's likely nothing you don't already know if you've read through Vetter's site.

But I want to emphasize using CAD (cardboard aided design) because it's quick, practically free (tape costs a bit), and relatively fast way to come up with fairings you can test before building "good versions".

Highly recommend TUFT TESTING your work before committing to a design. I've seen more than a couple of members here put hours of work into aero projects without tuft testing, and then end up disappointed when the mod doesn't appear to work well.
