Hi, Ben,
The model weighed 1.20g originally but weighed 1.23g after I finished the repairs on Day 5. The tailhook web had a sheer tear, and the whole tailhook + some attached web tore off. I had a blast shield on, so there was minimal damage to the motor tube. Still, it took me about 1/2 day to finish the repairs.
I flew four full motor flights on Day 5. The best was 32:39.
So you are a fan of my goofy fin. Great. I've always been a big fan of elliptical stabs.
