Paul, looks as if your calculations are close, Phill is another Cozy/Subi

ADRAG =  2.024838915587521


It is kind of laughable that the ADRAG coeff. is calculated to a zillion
places :-) It is also interesting that Don Bates and I came up with
more or less the same number for the Cozy.

Other than this it is a great web site. He gets an A.

Paul,

As I calculated a while back . . .   1.6 sq ft * 1.28 = 2.05

 You were saying that was what Herb's number is. Herb's number is 1.54. A Cozy is side by side
 with more frontal area so it has a higher number.
