Yeah, I did it all off the Instructables stuff, which is how I ended up here. I was working out my own formulas before I found that, so then I just double checked things against my own formula (I couldn't let them go go waste).
I'm guessing this is where a lot of my drag is coming from
So here is the start of an aluminum belly pan. I've still got a lot more to do, but its a start, and its up high enough that it doesn't really stand out until you look from a distance.
