Just for fun, it would be interesting if you used a " G-meter" of some kind
and did a coast-down routine to find how much power it takes to run a FC
shaped vair at ... say ..... 70 to 50 mph or so .... I am thinking maybe 67
horses for a static 60 mph, as maybe 30 horses for a late model with those
sweeping, sexy curves. (g).  FC Same as a barn door in a 60 mph wind, I
