Hi Gang,

I have a partially built Model Missiles ARCON that has the fins stripped off. Only the bare stubs are left. I would like to rebuild this model to bring to NARAM. Would anyone have the fin patterns, or access to a model and could measure the fins for me?

I would be much obliged, and would be glad to send some free decals...

Oh yeah, the chute is missing as well. I know ot was a square of red plastic, does anyone know the dimensions?

:-)

Thanks!!

If/when you get the requested info, please send it on to me as well for YORP. Thanks.

I will most certainly pass this info along, as well as instruction sheets, measurements, etc....

Bill Stine is a great idea: If anyone would share his email, please send it to me off-list to ensure his privacy.

I'm pretty darn sure it's just Bill@Questaerospace.com. Doubt that he needs to keep it private. You can certainly send email to nettie@questaerospace.com and she'll be sure he gets it. She might even be the better person to send to since Bill might be out of the office or the country, even.

I received an email from Mark Mayfield with the following info:

The Arcon fin specs are:
Leading edge: 1 9/16"
Adjacent edge: 9/16"
Trailing edge: 1 3/8"
Root edge: 1 1/4"

The red chute is 10 1/8" square. (I have a feeling MMI might have meant for it to be 10" even, but mine is 10 1/8 when fully stretched on the table.

I spent the day scanning all of the instructions, and flyers included with my kit. I will send them to Scott as soon as I can, but I am afraid that it will not be until next week.
