Cargo Pod

[BigJohn]

Just finished a Cargo Pod, Innitial flight tests show no substantial change in speeds.

That looks pretty nice, John. Can you do a little more description and some more photos?

I've been thinking one of these, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Your's looks intriguing...

BigJohn,
The first two links aren't valid. Then, the remaining are all the same. The photos must be named before attaching and then you'll have to re-attach them. Great pod though...Looking forward to more pics and info. Keep 'em comin'....

That agrees with my own experience, the plane is so draggy already that
what ever you hang under it does not significantly change the speeds. Also
that searching for drag reduction through fairings, and cuffs, etc. is somewhat
an exercise in futility.

Jeff
