Marty and his new creation!  

Here is the fin can with a 5" motor tube in it.  This rocket is designed to be flown on a 5" dia sugar motor.

 
Check back soon for more updates on this monster.  I will try to have more pic's soon.

This is the fin can with a beer for scale.  The fins are carbon coated plywood (Same technique as our high pressure glassing)  see our fiber glassing page for more on how we do that.

  The fin can before the fins are glued in.  Big bloody motor tube huh!
 

Here are a few pictures of the Mega Dawg's fins setting up with a jig cut with a circular saw and a jig saw.

 
 

 
 

The fin can ready for primer. The fins have a layer of carbon, Kevlar root strip. lower fin tip to tip Kevlar and a layer of glass tip to tip, don't think they are going anywhere!
