Ben, if you're going to design one, fair it into the fuselage as much as possible to cut down on interference drag. A simple CFRC cuff will make an enormous difference.

David - I do agree with your thoughts, only issue with fairing the pod to the fuse is the fabric contact area chafing and I want the pod easily removable for local flying. My plan is to experiment with a few mock-up designs and test fly them before I commit to making molds.

Great trip Ross and Gayle, enjoyed the photo over a couple of red's (bottles) the other night!!, next trip Im there.

Ben, teflon strip or similar on the fairing faying surface ? Only reason I mention a fairing is that the interference drag can be quite large, the bigger the gap. If you can't fair the pod, try and minimise the gap as much as possible.

Its great to have an aeronautical engineer and LAME discussing the design for a POD - I reckon the result will be ...... good .... very good!
Nice to see you appear here Doc68! For those of you who have not heard of this guy it is Craig who gave me the privilege of flying his Kitfox 4 home across Australia last November

Craig has the hanger next to mine in Mt Beauty and we had a great flight together the other day - don't remember anything about the bottles of red though Craig! Looking forward to more posts about your lovely red Kitfox!
