I found this picture and wondered if the resulting outline of the template and inverted template made up the correct "top-down" view. If so, would the correct side taper be approx. 12*? I thought I had seen here that it should be closer to 7*.

I don't have any specific plans for the shape. I am just trying to learn more. I don't think I have ever seen a frontal representation of the "aero" shape here. Then again, I must be using the wrong keywords in my searches because I am pretty sure I have seen a top down view thread here somewhere and can't seem to find it.

Thanks.
A year or so ago I posted two additional views of the 'Template.' It was just a working drawing.One image was the top down,or plan-view of the 'Template.' When I saw your post the other day I looked for it,but was unable to locate it.
I'll look around some more.Sorry for the inconvenience.
