Last year I picked up a OOP 3.3" Dynacom Python kit from a local club member who was looking to offload some kits due to him not being very active in the hobby. For those who don't know the kit or the manufacturer two things come to mind when you see the components, it was ahead of it's day and the quality of components and workmanship must have been second to none. Even today there are very few manufactures that build kits with this much attention to detail.
That being said, when I picked up the kit it was missing the fins. Apparently they are not lost but just misplaced. However here I am still with no fins and this is a project I would like to start assembling this summer. I was able to find a sim file which I have validated against the components, as well the kit did come with very detailed specifications which included mostly everything I needed to extrapolate the fin dimensions. That being said the fins look much bigger in the sim file than the online pictures, so I would like to validate them with anyone that knows the kit.
Aside from that I was contemplating building new fins from carbon plate simply because if the dimensions are accurate then these fins are relatively large and I may rip them off based on the motors I may fly. Thoughts, who knows this kit?
