Joe,
Regarding the teardrop trailing edge. Our museum made some dies for rolling this a couple of years ago. It was too late for the Strutter but defined as necessary for the Camel project. The difficulty was not in rolling the shape but in drawing the final form so that it comes out straight. At this time it is still an unresolved challenge. On the other hand, the museum is finishing the overhaul of the SE and not focusing on the Camel so there is still time.
Something to keep in mind. (The drawing of the tubing, not the time factor!)
Regards,
John
