I figured that his Doctorate trumped my B.S.,and we'd be able to bet on his work.
It turns out that if you remove the cylinder portion of his windtunnel model,substituting the 1.3 d nose section onto the tailcone,you end up with a body-of-revolution of L/D = 2.5,just like the 'Template'.....

Thanks for the response, and clearing up several things for me.
I wrote the previous post just to have you look it over and make sure I was applying the correct concept to approximating a wing shape, with regard to the Template.
Jim.
