With all due respect Charlie I have stated the full sized template works as a stand alone entity, but is not the tool needed nor promoted in this forum by it's developers and their following.
I have stated many times in many ways that scaling down the template is scaling down success, and I suspect that there is a mathematical factor which can be applied to this.
I have suggested that a 3D boattail template/tool be develop to retrofit to existing cars/trucks and made suggestion as to what it may look like in cross section and so forth, therefore I have done much more that criticize - read up.
I admit that I need to learn more on the scaling of models (not doing any model testing at this time), however very few things posted in the forum lend a clue. The comment that a 1/6th scale model would need to be doing 120 mph means what exactly? An intriguing comment, one which I appreciate but no context or comparisons to add value or pattern. 120 mph verses what other speed of the full scale body, 20 or 250 mph? No clue, sorry if I missed it. Is the air going to detach on the scale model before the full scale model? Now that would be useful information and make some sense. Crickets.
I understand that one cannot fit a square peg into a half circle hole, which puts me one up on you Charlie - your emotions on this topic have blinded you to the painfully obvious.
