Should I fiberglass the fins tip to tip on the 2.5X Big Daddy or just fiberglass the fillets? It has 3/8″ birch ply fins. They’re big but this won’t be a speed demon in flight. I also don’t want to add more weight than I have to on the tail end of this rocket.

It might be worth the little extra weight. It isn’t the up part that you should be concerned about, it is the down part, especially with those swept back fins. I would do a tip to tip glass on that rocket if it were mine.

We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
