Like the title says, was debating on fin direction but went with the original Partizon setup. No payload tube, still be 24mm up to E composite too with a motor block/screw on retainer they give you with this, kevlar shock cord maybe elastic somewhere, eyelet epoxied in the nosecone, spilled chute, and fin surface labeled and CA on the edges. It will be a slow but steady build process. I'm working on about 8 others but they are mostly glue or epoxy and wait now. So I'm messing around and starting this too.

Fin 3 is done with the slot and its in. I was messing around with motor tubes too. Might use a longer one. But I'll still need to trim the tab width down that hits the motor tube These fins are for a slightly bigger airframe(2.5"), so I'll mark and cut them to fit.

I was really debating on using the High-Flier XL for theae fins. It might have looked a little better but I like the Olympus platform and they are cheap at HobbyLobby. Once I get this painted it will grow on me.
