Thumbs up

Great design of the Star Seeker Craig!

I still have not figued out how you did the hollowed out fins. I keep getting the message WARNING: Plan contains one or more crossed lines every time I try it. Please explain how you crossed over into the middle section to hollow it out??

I also see your landing troubles with these delicate fins. In my design notebook I once had an idea for a landing post (3/16" or 1/4") dowel which was glued onto the main BT and stuck out past the fins bottoms. The idea of the post is for it to take the brunt of the impact on landing and not the fins. Might be somewhat unsightly though and needs to be kept out of the exhaust stream also. Just an idea.
