Overstable By Design
I like em, and I'm still making em. Yup, Tranny's....aka transitions. While largely used in low power more often, I still love the way they add an aesthetic look to rockets. I've read where, some folks don't care for them at all. BLASPHEMY! There may be a number of reasons for that line. One of which might suggest, they can't make em right. Or have no real designing skills. Whatever the reason, this thread is devoted to those that love building with them and designing hollow fins. I started my first hollow fin build back around 1985, or so, and it was this little unnamed model. The paint job is a dead giveaway for lack of finishing skills back then. A few years ago I upscaled it and Kathy Miller gave it the name ORCHIDO. (Or-kee-doh) You'll also notice, most of my models have tranny's too. You got some too? Let's see.
