Stock build o' an early '90s Estes Pro Jayhawk. Definately t' most complicated kit that I built as a kid, but it came out well. T' tip fins are fragile though, so it has only seen a couple o' flights. After t' last one, I worked Titebond into t' win' crack, arrr, then epoxy filleted t' tip fins (I only used wood glue originally). T' tip fins ought t' be much more secure now, shiver me timbers, but I'm concerned that landings may stress t' wings instead. I'm thinkin' o' usin' a larger parachute. I'd rather walk further t' a safe landin' then have t' keep fixin' it. I'm nay sure how many more it can take...
