Hey Pattern Flyers,
I'm getting ready to start the short kits for the scaled Tipos, all of the sizes David did. Something for everybody, since there seems to be a lot of interest.
Does anyone have pictures, better plans, pictures of parts, anything that would show how the fin is actually built?? The plans are vague, to say the least, in that area, and the one I flew back in the day was already built, so I never saw it framed up.
I want to improve the short kits of the Tipo in that area. Everything else is good.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks...

Hey Don. Here's a few pics of how the MK Curare 60 fin is put together. I have the MK Curare 60 and Model Builder Tiporare plan and in comparing the two fins they're not that different. The MK version has you make a triangle box for the inside of the fin.
The first three pics are the Curare the last is a comparison of the Mk Curare (top) and the Model Builder Tiporare. The only real difference is the frame the MK has to make a box of the triangle. I think your best bet is to look at the Super Sicroly, MK Magic 60, and the Curare fins as these all seen to utilize what i believe your looking for. I have a MK Magic 20 and it is a similar build for it's fin as well.
