Not often I share my finds. Have recently bought all these items for a 4'' project and very good quality and price. Fact, using them all again on a 2nd 4'' bird.

What do you use the PU foam for?

You can get the quicklinks in toolstation. Pack of 5 for about 3-4 quid.

Foaming the fin can. Build the MMT but don't install the last ring. Put some masking tape tabs do you pull it back out. Glue the forward end in place, glue fins on but no external fillets yet. Once set remove that rear CR using the tape. You then have a void. Mix up small bit of the liquid and poor. Top as needed. It's silly sticky and will bond everything. Fins are solid. Once the right height is done epoxy the rear CR. Then clean fin fillet area and lay down epoxy epoxy fillets. Done. JC has a good YouTube video on it.

Toolstation's quick link is only a basic Zinc plated soft steel. I'll stick with stainless steel. Cleans easy, looks really smart and nice and is super strong.

Thanks for the tips on e bay supplies.

I'm going to try and buy some of the Kevlar cord. By my calculation it's at least a quarter of the price of that which is available from the usual UK suppliers.

SO.
