The .ork file that I put up there went out of date quickly.
I've encountered these fin dimensions in rocksim files of two U.S. Rockets versions of the Mongrel. These files can be found on the Rocket Reviews website . When I compare them to a photo of the original, the semi-span seems too wide and the tip cord too short. So I don't believe that these represent the original.
See attached drawings that illustrate what I see, and the .ork file.
