- 12/25/2013 – Took pictures of package and contents. Measured components and recorded in Book #3 Page 138. Scanned plans and decals. Attached fin halves together with thin CA. Held them together with clothes pins. Drew a line along the motor mount tube as a reference line. Test fit centering rings and fins and marked the tube for placement of the forward centering ring.
