Hi Flew my I Roc yesterday Fwd MMT ring tore out on ejection.(surprised the heck out of me)
Booster fell free. I foamed the fin can area. One fin cracked at the fin BT joint.
Thinking of using small plywood gussets(or braces) epoxied to either side.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Mark
 
Put a bead of epoxy in area near CR is to be placed.
Slide in CR then, glue in a short piece of tube coupler. To prevent it from happening again.

Thanks, I'm gonna give that a try. My concern was the cracked fin at the BT joint
My thought was to get as much glue into the crack as possible, straighten the fin, and glue a piece of wood on either side of the fin.
let it dry and sand it into a fillet shape.
Don't really want to glass it but if I have to, I will.....
