sven7 -- I wasn't referring to the sweep back, but to the unparallel-ness of the fins visible in the rear view.

"The engine isn’t necessarily economically viable, as it transforms fuel into waste gas at a rate of 76 liters (20 US gallons) an hour."

Thanks for that and bumping the thread. That stuff about tailfins was sort of off-topic. We do go on.

I found http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post339900, so I'm off to read about aluminum foil vs Saranwrap as a release agent.

Have you got a picture with two people aboard? Have [or will] you tuft test[ed] the tail?
