Andy, thanks for playing around with the farings idea. How much drag do you really think this would save? I think it would be a fun project.

Bruno - B4

I you look up drag of different shapes, a flat plate (Go Pro) has a drag coefficient of 1 or more. A contoured airfoil-type shape has a drag coefficient of 0.1 to 0.2 so it would seem to make a fair amount of difference.

My 3D printer is on the fritz, but once I get it working again I should be able to crank one of these out in a day or so.
