12h + 12L = 24 surface area
12r x 3.14 = 37.68/4= 9.42 surface area.

To add my .02 worth. Fillet or not Fillet?
The common target for our KR is light and fast.
That being said, the less surface area, the less drag. An L shaped corner has
more surface area than a concave "(" shape of same height/length.

Thanks Mark.

vertical as mine are, is a small fillets okay? My fuselage starts to taper into
prior to trailing edge of the wing so maybe a larger, broader fillet there
would be a good thing?!Any thoughts?Pete

MarkSorry I got you wrong as the author. Maybe your name was somewhere in the
post and I thought you had said it. Strega is a highly modified P-51 pylon
racer, Reno air race type.So based on what you and Larry have done, it looks
like I'm doing wing root fillets.Thanks, Pete

HA! After reading my own stub wing website, I did say that about an
airplane...Nemesis, and then recommended exactly what Pete mentioned...a
simple micro fillet between the joints. It's a good thing I did this
website...so I'd know how to build my next one the fast and "good enough

Your wallet must be fatter than mine :-)
Good detail in your reports. Keep it up.
