On this note....Question for Mr Drela, or any of the aero guys out there...
I believe MH's study was geared more towards F3B and higher performance flying, and he came up with a figure of 3%. So let's assume, at TD speeds... linkage hanging out the bottom adds 2% drag to the airframe. If our model has a 15/1 LD, does this now translate directly to a 15/1.02 LD? What does this really mean to the performance of our model? And what is gained in real world performance by going completely internal?
