I am going to widen the fuselage 6 inches at the aft spar top longeron, and deep the proportional demintion taper to the bottom logeron at that station. My plant is to taper the fuselage back to the standard demensions at the firewall. the reason I want to do that is to have a more areodynamic taper.
My questions for the group is these: Will that be better areodynamicly than keeping that six inche width proportionally to the firewall. I can't see how it wouldn't be better. Will the standard firewall demensions at the firewall be ok for a corvair installation or would increasing the area there be a good idea? Build to plans guys need not apply. God is in the details, Ron Smith, hacking up 5/8 spruce for the fuselage as we speak
