I think he added a bunch of length and a bunch of skin friction (and some weight too) but really didn't reduce the wake area at all.
And in all probability those mods raised Cd in yaw and yes the poor sap doesn't live that far from me so he suffers the x-winds too.
Were I to do such a project I'd mock it up in cheap cardboard or coroplast first, then tuft test. No doubt, even as smart as I think myself to be I'd find that the first version needs changes to make it work. After all has been proven satisfactory... THEN build it "permanently". |
I here ya big time. To the point I have a sick feeling in my stomach.
I'm a performance engine builder and performance EFI tuner. When it comes to aero i can't even make a paper airplane fly right.LMAO
Well if anything I'll have a few bad ass Lexan sheets for sledding.
