Sound about right unless I can find some oval tubing or make some?
Was the round tube + angle idea a dumb one?

The 'dumb' idea would be the one never mentiond.
The Germans researched fairings for machine gun barrels.You can see that 'angle iron' attached to the trailing edge helps.The smoother,graduated taper has lowest drag.Sheetmetal could be creased,and bent to form a nice fairing.A neighbor did this on his gyro-copter control surfaces.
