Paul- I was a bit suprized that you thought the effective drag
area for the cruiser was excessive. I doubt that you can find
a fixed gear 4 place with much lower numbers. For comparison
some calc/estimates for some super slick planes would be
Nemisis of course - probably about 0.8 with the other gold
class F1's about 0.9. The absolutly unbeatible AJ special
about 1.25, Klaus's amazing Veri EZ about 1.5 (most EZ
about 1.8) and "Long"'s about 2.0, RV 4 maybe 2.0
RV 6 about 2.1 (except Tracy's), KIS 2place 2.0
Most of the 4 place fixed gear compsites probably range
from the Cruiser at 2.5 to the Diamond 4plc (Katana) about 3.5

Looks like the wheel pants I got with the kit will need a lot of work.
Perhaps there are some pressure recovery versions out there that I don't
know about.
