One more thing Aerohead.

It does make me feel good when you said the architecture of the Aerolid follows correct aerodynamic parameters. In tooling the Aerolid, it was pure sculpture and nothing else. I had no information to go on. I am very fortunate to have arrived at an aerodynamically functional design purely by chance.

When you posted you're now legendary aerodynamic streamlining template, I immediatley copied it and overlayed it upon a picture of my truck. I was very pleased, and relieved, to see the curve of the Aerolid matched the template so closely.

I appreciate all you have done here on ecommoder and without people like you and Darin who understand the numbers and calculations of Engineering, there would be no progress. Sculpture is art, form can be functional. Aerodynamics is a wonderful blend of art and Engineering.
