Finished tail cone

Here's the pics of the final sanded tail cone. A little filler, some shaping work on the fins so they hug it tight and it'll be ready for some glass.

And another one

The only change I would make to the method we used would be on the spars.

I would make the fore end of the spars just a little wider so they overhang the body tube. Like this: That would give the MMT a shelf so it wouldn't slide inside the body tube as easily. Mine slid in about 3/16" when I wasn't looking. I thought the epoxy had set up enough to hold it by then (NOT!).

Beeaaaaauuuuuuuuttttttiiiiiifffffffuuuuuuulllllllllllllll!!!!!

Good job man.

Very nice, this was a very useful 'how-to' thread. You should compile this into a review and submit it to EMRR. That way it will be safely stored on CD for my future reference

I concur, since you did such a good job, you really should post it to EMRR for posterity.

I will get with Mark Brown and see if we can't put something together for it.

A lot of it was his ideas, so I certainly can't take all the credit.

GREAT JOB!
the tailcone looks sweet!
