Nice to see a nother opening Aero Tonto. I see you did the same . Function over form. Try some tuft testing. You should see some major vortices on the sharp corners . My cap is made with 1"x .065 square perimeter and 1/2" x.065 round spars and 12mil shrink wrap. =35lbs . I agree your .040 Aluminum skin would be very time consuming and difficult to create compound curves . Nice compromise between ease of build and form. . My build
Falling snowflakes give a good visual on air flow. For aerodynamic testing to see were and what changes to make for V2.0. Looking forward to your continued progress.
