So here we go. Arrived last Thursday, but due to work this is the first occasion I have had time to look at it.
I should say many thanks to DJ from Misha Rocketry for dispatching it so fast.
Unboxing
Out of the box, looking good, there a few imperfections in the carbon tubes (low points) and a few minor scratches but nothing major. You have to look carefully to spot them and when it's clear coated they'll disappear.
The fins are 4 mm thick. They are not beveled, so that's something I'll need to do. The centering rings are a whopping 5.5 mm thick
Tried a dry fit, but the fins were too tight due to the rounded ends of the fin slots
]
No problem, a little bit of filing later and they are squared off
The inside of the tube where the fin slots are will need a little sanding too as the motor centering rings are a little tight where the slots are, making it hard (no impossible) to slide them past the slots.
I will get on with the sanding, and hopefully post a dry fit picture later today.
