Yeah, enough said. This will be fun!

Contact Sirius about the missing parts. Either they will replace it or refer you to Randy Boadway at Erockets/Semroc for replacement. Occasionally I've had that happen from various manufacturers, but not often. Maybe two or three times out of hundreds of kits.Opened the Omega kit this afternoon and discovered that Semroc included only ONE sheet of laser-cut balsa fins so only two booster fins and two sustainer fins
Yes, I heard from Sirius and they referred me to Erockets but I ended up just cutting a complete new set of fins using a 1/8”balsa plank from my stash from the AMA Free Flight days.Contact Sirius about the missing parts.

Did you also tell them about the poor quality of the transition? Even if you're content to sand and fill and fix it yourself, they need to know how they're messing up.Yes, I heard from Sirius and they referred me to Erockets but I ended up just cutting a complete new set of fins using a 1/8”balsa plank from my stash from the AMA Free Flight days.
Neil, your title is in jeopardy.Bought a nice 1/8” balsa plank at the LHS to cut fins old school style for my Semroc Omega clone.
The fins came out about the same weight as the laser cut ones in the kit but are much stiffer. Old AMA Free Flight guy can pick out some balsa!
A metal detector could help with that, maybe...0-2 today.
The worst part is that I lost my Flight Sketch Mini. I was close enough to connect to it and download the data, but after searching the area where I had a Bluetooth signal for a half hour with no luck, I gave up.
Bummer about losing your Flightsketch alt.
The old needle in a haystack problem and Bluetooth often has more range than advertised.
I bought a colorful pouch from Dinochutes with the idea of maybe being a bit more likely to find the FS in these situations but hope never to have to put it to the test.
Maybe a small streamer directly attached to the FS?
Yes, but isn't it nice when they can unhappen. It's too late for the pouch or streamer, but not for the metal detector.
How long do you suppose the battery lasts? It may not be too late for one of these:
