Has anyone used Boyce's 5 motor fin can on their Saturn V's? I'm trying to decide to build mine stock or buy one of these upgrade fin can so It will fly higher than the advertised max 350 feet. I do like the ideal of being ad to use 1, 3 or 5 motor cluster. Looking for advise Thanks

Started today. Simple start - filling seams on body tubes.
The Boyce Aerospace fin can adds, at least, 5oz. of mass to the aft end of the Saturn V, plus the weight of the additional motors . . . Watch your CG and motor choices !
"Weight of the total fin can is approximately 5 oz."

So has anyone flown one with this bad boy on it?
If so what engines did you use.
This rocket just screams for a slow liftoff.

I am waiting for mine to come in. I have never built anything other than stock kits so this is all new to me.
Looks like a couple of y'all have got them. Any updates on the installation?
Boyce sent me some literature, looks like you have to glue some motor mount tubes into the fin can.
Sure could use some advice. So I can start getting the needed parts in
