Yep, I should have them, being a packrat, but I haven't seen them in a very long time. When I wrote the AS504x website, I only put the most dramatic and important one there, the 16 degree at stall. OK, the search of my 2TB drive is done, and I have them all! The zero degree one is at http://www.krnet.org/as504x/00deg.jpg. It does tell the story of where the undisturbed air is. My two cents worth is that I essentially followed the plans and put mine at the stub wing joint, hanging down about four inches (100mm) with tips right at the leading edge to prevent damage from folks standing at the leading edge. It turns out that was the most likely candidate to bend the thing, as I routinely stand right there to refuel the aux wing tank. Another inch (25mm) aft would have been even better. There's a photo of it at the top of http://www.n56ml.com/fairings.html, along with several others. I don't have a picture of the final fairing, but it turned out very aerodynamic-looking in the end. You can sort of see it in front of the left gear leg in the second photo down at http://www.n56ml.com/ . Like several other folks have reported this one was accurate with about 1 to 1.5 mph across most of the flying range, except below 90 mph it started gradually diverging to the point that it was off by about 8 mph at stall speed, reading higher speeds than reality.
