Tim,
Did you buy the injection molded fins for your #2157? I bought a couple sets last year. I’d love to see Estes add the plastic SLA as another “replacement” part. I’d buy a few for my Saturn Vs and 1Bs.
I’m still trying to imagine if my #2001 kit will ever get opened. Maybe your plan to cluster it is a worthy consideration for mine, too. Any thought to make it a 5 motor cluster? My other consideration for some time would be to stay with the single D12 in one of my #2157s, but modify it to fly with the four outer F1s in place. Obviously the motor needs to come WAY back in the body tube, with some nose weight to fix the CG shift.
