Basically you want an elliptical entry, the max draft 30 to 40% aft, and an exit that thins down to about an eight inch, with the trailing edge flat, not rounded. If you get it anywhere mnear this, it's good enough. What really slows thiings down it a flat, sharp, or uneven leadibng edge, an d a fat or round exit.

Hi Jerry, I was interested in your comments about reshaping the mahogany rudders. You probably already talked about the desired shape but I must have missed it. What shape would we shoot for? I assume this would apply to the M-23's as well?
Thanks Robbin
