I've been looking at Aerobees lately. I have ROTW, and the conduits are called out as 1.9" wide and either 1.25 or 1.30 high. My question is about the actual contour.
Are they elliptical in cross section? Is it a simple 0.95" radius half-circle elevated off the airframe 0.30 or 0.35 inches with straight sides? Is it some other shape?
Haven't been able to find information that would make me confident on this.
I'm thinking about 3D resin printing them to get the size and shape right, rather than spending forever trying to sand rectangular stock to the right dimensions and form and getting three or four different parts that don't match each other and are even inconsistent along their lengths, or living with something that's vaguely suggestive of the shape so everyone will know what I mean, even if it's not right.
