We're gonna try to mount the rear turn signal lights in the ends of the fins so they'll point backward.
It'll be quite a trick to do. Hope it works. We'll have to build them sorta like aircraft wings.
Today Captain Utopia said the EcoRocket design looked sort of like a submarine - partly because it's grey, I guess. That's great. I remember researching fairing shapes for things like bobsleds, Atlantic salmon, and Ohio-class submarines.
At one point it could have looked like the nose and cockpit of a WWII Hurricane fighter with the slide back Plexiglas. It looked neat, but the nose was so long you couldn't safely turn at a street corner.
Now that we have the basic design shape, we have to measure the chassis - now on the way - for exact form shape. This is a very critical part of making the EcoRocket. It's like building a boat.

looks like it's moving while it's standing still! Brilliant!
Thanks, Rob.
