I really like this design.
Looks like a Navy version. Waterproof with a tail hook.Oh boy, here we go... It is inevitable so I guess I'll go ahead and start. I like Arkies in the green or blue-black:

Or, just mount one or the other set of fins and after they cure/dry use a piece of angle (steel or aluminum), and some clamps and use the first fin to hold the second one inline with it.I guess if you have multiple fin sets... make the body extra long... start at the aft fin set first... then work your way up to the next, letting the finished fins hang off the end... then when you are done with all the fins cut the body tube to length?
Me? Brad point bits for thru holes and forstner bits for the sockets the pins the rubber bands go around fit in.What did you use to drill the holes?
I will have to take pics of mine Chuck, I did angle the pins, to do it I used a drill press with two boards clamped to the table, one as a guide for the edge, and one to lift the board to drill at an angle ( an angle not necessarily 60°). After doing the drilling and installing the pin I decided it would be just as easy to drill the pins in straight and use a round file to notch the pin for a rubber band (mine are both angled and notched).How did you get the angles to 60 degrees - drill press?
