I thought it looked like some Windy influence. 👍🏼

Looks great Len.

Wonder who helped you pick out the colors. 🤣

Do they have any aerodynamic effect? I can see them as giving some yaw and pitch stabilization by adding some well-placed drag. Or not.
Curious, I am thinking of adding them to Endgame IV.
