And wings. Love Turkey wings.

In about a month, you should so do this with a Hormel ham... they're usually fairly nicely shaped for aesthetic purposes, and often end up looking like a Kamm shape (airfoil minus pointy end).

Next-we begin removing weight for greater energy savings! The aero will suffer slightly, but once we have the turkey picked all the way down to the frame we can begin adding a lightweight skin of coroplast for a classic teardrop shape-with both improved aero and a 70% weight deletion, the rolling resistance should be vastly decreased!

I await tuft-testing on the new, improved Turkey Mark II...

A ham would provide an overall lighter structure after weight reduction, and probably much stiffer as well...

You must be using one of those newfangled "canned" hams then. I hear the Tin Monocoque has some real possibilities-i'd like to see how far you can push that design after weight reduction, but as light as that would get there might be some trouble with crosswinds...

I wsh you guys had jumped in a little earlier.......
