The EZ-Hook two wheeled streamliner
is   AERODYNAMICS
FRONTAL AREA, 3.62 SQ. FT., DRAG COEFFICIENT .1007,
so frontal area isnt everything, problem is we dont have wind
tunnels to get the drag number down, this is half the frontal
area of Goldenrod, and EZ hook was developed in
the wind tunnel of Cal Tech!!
