Drawings are in the mail

I talked to Layne Christensen at DARKO by phone this morning.We went over attachment details.
I finalized the drawings,went ahead with dimensions.
Layne said that once they see the images and numbers,that they'll come up with an attachment strategy for me.
I couldn't build what I wanted and have it fit onto the load cell bearing members directly and still be able to transport it within the bed of the truck.
I reconfigured the drawings to fit the dimensions of the T-100 at full-'Template.'It's an abomination compared to a 'pure' pumpkin seed,but better represents 'real' vehicles.
The small frontal area of the model will reduce the maximum airspeed in the test section,but it will be enough for a supercritical Reynolds number,TBL, and stable Cd.
So,as to paraphrase Preston Tucker:'All I need now is a model!'
I'll also have to cut my aeroshell to add a rear hatch section,otherwise I'll never be able to get the model in or out.
