Thanks Eric, nice use of the CNC equipment. I was making fins for my Mystery by gluing patterns to mdf, sanding to the lines, glueing one on each end of 20lb density foam and sanding the foam off with a belt sander, then glassing that. I was also playing with the pivot point but came to no conclusions so I didn't comment on your first question. I would be interested in seeing both the fins and the K-1 upon completion.

Best,

Reg
