Thank you.Looks great
I assume you used balsa for the spars on the two fins? One of mine cracked on the last launch, needed a repair. If I built it again I would use basswood for the spars. Make sure you have a big enough chute that it lands gently...For what it's worth, I discovered that I didn't have any BT80 on hand for the interlocking rings on my Sagittarius A build. Not wanting to wait for an order to arrive (and not wanting to pay more for shipping than for the actual BT) I ran into my local Micheal's craft store and picked up a 4" x 10" cardboard shipping tube for $3.50 and cut the rings from it. They certainly added more weight to the build but I wasn't going for any altitude records. The other plus was the thickness of the tube over a BT80. It was easier to make the cuts to interlock the tubes and the final assembly was very sturdy with zero flexing. Just throwing it out there for consideration.

Looks great!Finished my first full fledged AV-Bay, a 13 month journey starting with a build of an Eggfinder Mini (which I borked - twice!). SMT Designs NC Deployment/Tracker AV Bay with a Quark and Mini. Continuity on both channels (green LEDs). Today was a good day...

8' parachute with my first deployment bag.
I have that same chute in 6' and really liked how it performed at LDRS! (Though, I don't have the fancy pouch. Color me jealous )
What did you use for fillet?
Nice Loki case....Just got back home from a record attempt trip…brainstorming my next one.
