So... my Grave Danger had a bit of a rough landing and snapped off the tip of one fin. The fins are 1/8 inch plywood, TTW, and have my best fillets on them. Sigh.
I have fashioned a replacement bit and glued it on - am currently in the process of sanding it to blend into the original fin better.
I am left with the thought that this will probably snap off on the first landing so I am wondering what would be a good reinforcement method? A layer of really light fiberglass? Paper ? Do just this one fin or all three?
Ideas are welcome. I don't want to add this one to the junk pile since I really like the look if it and the lettering by Stickershock turned out great....
