This is the same kit as the Apogee Components, right?

Yup, not sure if it's been changed though. I bought it a while back.

If you want the files to any of the 3D printed stuff I'd be glad to send it your way. I'd probably hold off on sharing the files for the fin can setup until I can get a flight or two on it to be safe, though.

Quick test fit of the fins... I'm really happy with this.

How long did you cut the vertical pieces that fit into your pvc cross on your stand?

I'm not sure, I think I honestly just cut a length, figured "that looks about right" and just cut the rest to that size. I can grab a quick measurement later today when I get home from work.

Thanks, I have a friend who has one of the ratcheting pvc cutters and as soon as I decide on my final dimensions, then we are going to cut to length all the pieces.

Great, thanks for your time and trouble.

I'm subscribed to your thread. I just did step 1 and washed all the parts. Going to build mine to the Apogee dvd instructions.

Awesome! Are you doing a build log? If so, I'd like to follow it. I'd bet you'll get yours flying before I do.

No build log, there is another extensive build on here already.

Is this Michael? On Fieldstone dr? Milford, Pa?

I assume your username is your ham radio call sign?

Ah, well good luck with the build!

Yup, but I recently moved up to VT for work.
