I hope there's room for "our special payload"... I'm working feverishly to get it flight worthy.
Yes there will be a "special payload area". Please don't catch a fever.
Very nice..those full length slots for the fins will make a big difference! Most use the smaller slots for tabbed fins , but they seem to always flex behind the slot and crack that fillet when landing.

Hadn't thought about this, but you are absolutely correct. Tim gets the honors for that.

Before pulling the recovery assembly out to proceed, take advantage & fit the fins:
Sand slots & fins for fit. Insert fin and draw line on one side.
Remove and sand both sides of root for internal fillet adhesion, make sure no shine remains.
Reason for the line: when glueing fin onto motor mount, you may catch fin on CR or just not get it all the way tight to MM tube. This is a simple guide to show you instantly if fin is where it belongs.
If line is off airframe you know to push it in farther or remove fin and find what the trouble is.....before the glue sets.
Sand on each side of slot [approximately 3/4in.] for external fillet adhesion.
Now we have finished prepping the fin can.:smile:
