Due to unforseen circumstances , the extreeme level of complexity involved in such a simple task ( ok I "MAY" have overcomplecated this thing) .

Absolutely. Anything the rules don't specifically disallow is fair game. And it doesn't have to be complicated.

Yes. Just let me know how you want your names to appear on the certificate. You'll have to decide amongst yourselves how to split the prize money.

I finally put the ideas in my head into the real world. Here's the results.. 1 leg down 5 to go..

Yes it's a old carbon arrow for a leg.

There's a notch in the fin that locks the leg in the down position.

That's a good question. The judge is at school right now, so I can't ask her, but I'll go out on a limb and say it will be acceptable. Marc S. re-flew his booster entry last year, so the precedent has been allowed.
