BTW Van is missing a bet. A sharp rudder strake gives a vast improvement 
in directional stability for little or no drag increase over the stock vertical. 
This is because a  powerful vortex  with a low pressure core is generated on the 
down wind side of the vertical greatly increasing its stabilizing lift.
I guess he does not want it to look like a Mustang :-)
