Hi Jim

Fin33 is about 1/8" thick and about 5" x 1.5"

Fin27 is also about 1/8" thick and maybe 2" x 7"

I don't know what the alloy is. Most things are 6061T6 but some fittings
seem to be the stronger 2024T3 material AFAIK. Check out the bulletin
for upsizing the rivets in the Fin33 if your manual does not show 3/16"
rivets.

3 Times lucky? My dad and I bought 705R in December and are finally
able to get some shop room to start the build. We are the 3rd owners
of the kit! That box has a lot of I Follow Roads time! BC to Iowa
to Saskatchewan! when we went to finish the fin (last step before
starting the wings) we couldn't find 2 parts. After Packing and
unpacking so many times I dont know if they got lost or if we just
can't find them. Can anyone tell me what size the fin27 and fin33
are. Or what material they are made from(Alum. Steel?) Thanks, Jim
