I was very fortunate as to receive one of my top wishes this Christmas, the 4” LOC V2.The first thing I noticed was how horribly the boat tail was slotted. Only one fin fit into the slot, and it was a loose fit. To be fair, I guess it is harder to get straight lines on a curved surface. I used an exacto knife to carve out the fin slots, then sanded the boat tail and the nose cone for better paint and epoxy adhesion. Then I attached the eyebolt to the centering ring, and glued both centering rings into the boat tail. I let that dry overnight, then inserted the MMT and tacked the fins in place. I then realized another boat tail problem, the fin slots aren’t even at 90 degree angles! Oh well, it looks normal enough when you’re not looking top down, and it will still fly straight. Tomorrow I will start on fillets.
