The Estes December sale was a great windfall for a lot of us looking to get Pro Series II kits on the cheap! I got a Leviathan and later noticed that it uses the same nose cone and body tube diameter as the Estes Patriot from the original Pro Series in the early 90's. Back when I was a kid, the Pro Patriot was probably the most awesome model in the whole Estes catalog. The Leviathan's single 29mm motor mount is probably a more reliable way to fly this beast instead of the 4x 24mm motor mount of the original.
Now I'm thinking that I'll scale-bash the Leviathan into a Patriot. The JimZ site has the original instructions and templates, but doesn't list the fin material or thickness. I'm guessing it was balsa instead of ply, but the thickness wasn't listed. Would anybody know these details about the Pro Patriot fins by chance?
