Aerohead, the story you shared about the VW van tail is appreciated. Did you consult them prior to fabrication by any chance?

EDIT: I know it's a Photoshop, but I just had to post this somewhere.

Yeah,Bob knew about my VW van project from college (I still have the van) and I put a booklet together for him with everything I had on tails.
It was up to him to design and fabricate from there.
Bob was an,artist,designer,engineer, pilot,who grew up in the Texas Tech machine shop;had worked at Vought and did AUTOCAD design,job-shop work
for Boeing.
He was no newcomer to aerodynamics,although he was surprised about differences with road vehicles.
He would have gotten a big kick out of your design work and modelling.
He had one of the best shops I've ever been in,and he was into everything.
We miss him.
