What is roster tail drag? how and where does it get created? Is there anything about that written up on the net?
I'd like to know since I'm in the process of figuring out where to put my radiators in the Long EZ.
Thanks

If you try this, you might want to take care to avoid "rooster tail" exit drag.  Studies have shown that is a real significant component of drag.  Canard folks have picked up significant airspeed by making them go away.
