| if you make it from carbon fiber, it will stand up better than fiber glass, it's too rigid the carbon will flex more, the aluminum tubing will be rather heavy for that, you may try a control rod, thin one, find something round close to the diameter you want and roll the control rod around it, go slightly further than half, then release, will have some spring back to it, but should conform to the desired radius intended, you can mount it through the plastic clamp that holds the vertical fin, drill holes through it, evenly spaced, avoid the screws if you can that secure the fin, pull the rod just far enough through and make small bends, one up the other down to lock in place, pull the radius back so the bends rest against the plastic clamp and that should do it
i suck at this, but having the time of my life with it! |
