The heat on the F100-0 engine does not weaken the casing-direct fin joints as it has a very short 0.5 sec burn time and the cardboard casing is VERY thick. MANY were flown back in the day with just Titebond glue joints/fillets. The combo worked, but you needed a LARGE field and a good pair of tracking eyes for recovery.


The BEARS LOST ! Boo-EFFIN-Hoo !
