Default RE: Sharp edges and drag?

Rounding it would help reduce drag marginally but, since you have a pusher, any bad flow would reduce your propeller efficiency. So, it is definately worth rounding it off.
Actually, I would consider redesigning it to blend in much better to a spinner shape. You would see a measurable increase in range/duration with your UAV application.
