What radius will you use on the filleting? I've always thought there would be interference drag between the front and rear sponsons. Maybe it could use a saddle-shaped fillet in there?

*Since we can't get BamZipPow to DARKO,and since I never tested any of my trailers,the fake wheel and fairing,attached under Spirit's stinger,will help us understand what a gap-filled,full-boat-tailed,single-wheel trailer drag would look like.The fairing/wheel will be suspended just above the floor so as not to interfere with the load cell measurements of lift and drag.
*The fillets are caulk and the size of my thumb,since that's how they're formed.Not perfect,but I'm willing to live with the difference.
