What is the dimensions of the fin tabs on this? I was curious so I laid out the centering ring in cad. it looks very plausible for the 1-98, 4-75, 4-54 setup.

would foaming the MMT/Fin tabs help bond it all together?

Not sure of dimensions, I asked ken but have not heard back yet. I know they’re big, probably 1/2” wide if I had to guess. The fins are the upgraded ones that Eric speaks of, thank god. Does foaming the mmt really Help at all? And Eric, I appreciate all the info, very helpful man! Very disappointing in part too. Not a cheap rocket so I sure hope the problems you had have been remedied, sounds like they at least tried to improve it. Thanks guys!

Dan,

I emailed you the Rocksim file for my 3/4 scale Nike. It's the one piece fin can version. I reinforced the fins with plywood and foam but luckily you won't have to do that.

That's the reason for all the CRs and additional weight in the aft end.

Maybe we can drag race at Red Glare this spring.
