Yes this crayon is an ex-crayon, it has ceased to exist, gone to meet its maker, passed on, bereft of life, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisibile. :rofl:
But I thought I show how I built it anyway because, well, I can.
These pictures were taken over ten years ago! They are scans from who knows what and/or where. So bear with the size and quality, you'll get the idea.
Pic #1 Crayon bank, and lexan or polycarbonate, or acrylic sheet fins (you can see I had already done some work slotting.
Pic #2 Split the rear plastic tail cone for the four fins. The fin planform is shown in the another picture. Notice the centering ring and the two nuts. Both make a mechanical connection from the tail cone to the motor mount, and one can all have your retention clip.

With 36 inch (91cm) chute it made no difference. Even a 48 could not assure no breakage. Not with hard playa and any horizontal drift component.
