another of my 'Flight Test' series(thrust augmentation), 24mm engine. if I can find some D15s (and an altimeterone), maybe I can prove/disprove whether the theory works 
. should be roughly 32" tall with a 4" payload bay. when last weighed its' empty weight was 3.2 oz(fins were 2g each ).

Have you flown fins of this configuration before? Having done some work on flutter failure I'd be very interested in how they perform.

well I've flown fins of this size and shape on an E20(3/32" balsa w/ 1/64"ply skins) and stick & paper fins on my cherokee...but no I have not flown stick & paper fins in this particular configuration yet. so it might be interesting. just have wait and see .
