I see folks like to tip to tip their surface mounted fins when the feet the minimum diameter rockets faster than mach 1.
My project is a Go Devil 38 which will be using a fly away rail guide. I'm debating on using the nose cone E-Bay so I can shorten the length to one body tube.
Now the question is how to keep the fins on. I have West Systems epoxy and Hysol E-120HP. I will be following the instructions on the thread above on how to properly bond using epoxy. Question is if it is enough.
PS: how do you apply constant pressure to surface mounted fins? Only thing I can think of is press it towards the BT and clamp it to my fin alignment tool as I'm pressing it. Not sure if it will maintain the pressure but it will keep it from moving. Not sure if that is sufficient.
