Default RE: Rounded Trailing Edges????

RCS:

It's all in the boundary layer separation from the trailing edge. The hard corners are less drag, and the turbulence is isolated from the surface.

If you are building an airplane intended for high speeds then use the hard corners. With a fun flier you'll probably never tell the difference.
