The thread title is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long, it was impossible to do a search, so I just went page by page for about 40-pages.
This is the latest of yet another work in progress.
If there's any interest in the new EV dedicated trailer, there may be some features of interest here, which might enhance aero performance.
I've built 'trailer' # 5, a one-wheeler, hopefully an improvement over #2. It's awaiting the trip to the A2 Wind Tunnel, where I'll nail down some numbers.
I can't road-test it, as it's solely a full-scale wind tunnel model which I won't commit to 'production' until it's aerodynamics have been ground-proofed.
