HOLY COW !!! I launched my new SSTOG yesterday !!!! Right about max speed it shredded the fins. I guess I didin't realize how gast this thing would be moving on a J350. It was right around 8lbs. After loosing all three fins it continued on up to just under 1800' where it seperated and free fell to 400 where the 6' main deployed.
NONE, of my fillets were damaged in any way, it simply shredded the plywood. Lesson learned !!!! My DD went off perfectly though. I am going to rebuild the fins using thicker ply and I will glass them this time. I hope to one day fly it on an I600 !!!
