Quest Viper Build Part 3, Fin Change

Lonnie mentioned this at the TTRA launch:
In assembling the pieces you find the interior of the fin can is tapered to only go on the tube one way! You can only slide the can on from the rear with the fins up swept!

It's easy enough to sand the taper down a bit to slide it on upside down.
Wrap some 220 around an engine casing to reduce the inside wall taper.





On the left is the original install of the fin can.
On the right is the trimmed and reversed fin can.



A dry fit of the parts - 

That body tube seems a bit long.
I'd better cut off two inches for a better visual balance.
