Default RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD

Speaking of the fin, here is Jeff's final revision of the fin compared to the prototype. We decided to change it after carefully looking at the pictures vs the prototype/plans a number of times. Something didn't look quite right. We came to the conclusion the fin should be a bit taller, with an altered fin "rake". As I said, other small revisions were made to the fuse nose section, fuse thickness, to reduce the "tallness" of the fuselage rear section forward of the stab, and to raise the height of the wing about 1/2 inch.

We are happy with the final product, but we would never rule out other changes if they can be proven to be necessary.
