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 :-)
