The front and rear wheel blisters/flares are so modest that it's more of a styling statement. I tossed the template over them out of curiosity.
The nose on the other hand is something I've practiced before and think there may be something to it. However, like I already said, I need to refer to those books Aerohead listed for me to read.

In his book,Hoerner claims that blisters actually need to be far 'longer' than the half-bodies typically generated from streamlined bodies.
I would not go 'shorter.'
