How does one calculate the finesse ratio of a body with an ovoid cross section and Kamm tail? I learned in technical sales that if I denigrate my competitors I damage my reputation more than theirs. My goal is to get the shell Cd below 0.3 and is stable in cross winds. The primary mounting point is at the bottom of the head tube. I am familiar with sailplane design and construction. I have done coast down tests at 16-17 mph with consistent results on a measured grade.
