...........Below is a chart showing foil sections and their associated drag based on how long the foils are compared to how tall. (Fineness ratio....reference sledge hammer girl for a 10  ). |
You can keep trying to alter the original template and shorten it all you want to, to match your own reality. Isn't that what all the redesign of the template is about? Knowing it's wrong and fighting desperately to change it? I've done the overlay with the old green template, did you miss it? Where exactly is the template you are using posted in the forum, or is it just something from a link of your own making?
FYI: Foil sections are not 3D shapes, you are missing the importance of thinking in 3D.
