Ok. So teardrops are good low drag shapes. Can I assume that if you make the nose 'pointier' and use a curve flatter than 6 degrees on the back that the Cd drops until at some point the gains are off

I concur. Put the fan behind the model to pull air over it. Otherwise you will never get the turbulence and pulsations of the fan blades out of the air stream. Also, in many cases, you will want to r
