If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Stephen, I can't say for sure, I don't keep track of mpg, if I have to keep track of mpg and worry about it, that to me means I can't afford it, plus 50% of people lie about the mpg they get. But what I did noticed that it tracks a lot better.

Well Mark, I once got 19.3 mpg ( us gallon ) for about 60 m with a 40mph tale wind. I also think that that was the only time I ever had tale wind.

Do you know how much weight that added to the unit?

Improved tracking is a good thing also. I would expect better mileage given the better aerodynamics.
What is the material you used for the exterior? Is it just paint over wood or is it some sort of composite? |

So the way I do my main flag is I cut a piece of 2" abs pipe to about 36" long and attached it to my front lift with hose clamps. I have a flag pole from flags and poles.com and it fits down in the ABS pipe just fine. The ABS pipe also works to help me back up to the pod.
