TJ, save yourself some aggravation and a great deal of time and just get this: http://www.erockets.biz/semroc-flyi...-trident-kv-71/

Laser cut gas passages (and fins), a neat jig to align the various tubes properly, a nice decal set and much more.

Just a happy customer who has a good flying Trident from this kit (and a backup kit in my stash).
