Thanks to you and everyone here for all of their hard work. I don't mean to be so contrary. But it is just that I tend to challenge things I am told until I grasp the information and understand it from the inside. I am not formally trained so I can stand outside the box and look in.

The above charts with the snow cone shapes is exactly what I was looking for in the other thread. I am already slightly dissatisfied with the straight taper tail I have started. I can see now that a true foil made from glass over a mold will be worth the trouble. I am also working on trying to make a contact at the Cornell wind tunnel so I can do some testing. I believe that 150 mpg at 65 mph is possible with an aero and engine/ gearing optimized Honda CBR250R.
