Bob, rmenke,
Thanks. guys.
Anybody else?

p.s. rmenke -- the "drag up front" on the Toni and Minnow is based on the F1 Sport rules, and was put there on purpose. The airframe was designed to soak up more power the faster you go, so small improvements in engine output and propeller efficiency don't allow one contestant to walk away from everybody else. Think of the cheek cowls as drag brakes. They keep the head-to-head racing close and exciting, like in this video (middle segment):
