It would not be absolutely perfect without a bunch of fairing and sanding, but it would be very very close.
BTW, it is 2048 miles door to door. cheap flights are ~255, and greyhound was 250, LOL!!!
Greyhound is on some serious drugs there.
If I left my right foot out, taped on some fairing, figure 80 gallons round trip 
~70$ less than flying  |
The skeleton is already at the net dimensions so I can't go 'outside' that footprint.If I had infinite time I'd do tooling plaster,make a splash,then do a thin,wet layup inside that.
For the time being,I'm filling the voids with polyisocyanurate foam,will Surform/sandpaper that down,nuke it with resin,then a single layer of glass,then sanding,Bondo,etc.
I'll essentially be taking a 'male plug' to DARKO.
