Fin guides to align fins

Shadow progress update
We've been busy this week making good progress on The Shadow. We now have a new set of fin guides that will be used to align the fins. We made a new coupler mandrel and have made a number of fiberglass couplers for joining tubes. We also started working on the business end of the rocket today and machined the nozzle and the nozzle seat it will sit on. We are having to build a completely new launcher for this rocket to handle the higher pressures.

It's getting exciting, is forecast to date of the first flight? I'll wait.
Hi Vicente,
No schedule yet for a launch, but at least weeks if not months before the first flight. There is still lots of work to do, but progress has been good so far. Launch will depend on weather and also the launch window that we only have every 2 weeks.
Dear friend George
There is already a forecast for the final weight of the "Shadow"?
Vicente we don't quite know how much it will weigh, as we don't have the final components made yet. I'll post more info on the weight as we get closer to completion. But we are carefully looking to minimize weight for all components.
Im loving the construction on this Rocket.
