Not sure of anything I would change to match what you are describing.
From that information, it would appear that the Streamlining Template is slightly too short based on what you are describing above.

The 'Template' image in post#465 is different from the original Template-C.Perhaps I should never have posted it.
The purpose of the Template was to aid in aft-body streamlining and I 'lost' some of the original Template nose to honor the convex hemispherical nose pushed by all the Doctors of Philosophy.
If you will go back to the Template thread you'll find the original Template of which is plainly shown how it originated from the 2.5:1 streamline body of revolution in ground reflection,with L/H = 5.1 'virtual' body.
On page-1 at the 'Aerodynamic Streamlining Template Part-C,below the new image,in the second thumbnail is the original 2.5:1 Template.It is the 1.78X Diameter aft-body which is of interest to us.
