7075 is great but not needed for these little riggers. I have been using some cheap stuff from Menards and it has held up. 6061 will do you good and not cost you as much as the 7075.

.060 should work very well!

I am not sure of the metal grade for mine. I use a cut down grimracer turnfin (its used on the Miss Vegas).

Good News,

I found my digital caliper among my disaster of a work/build area, so all is good now

Tom, I've still got some turn fins that we made for the Hammerhead .12 kit if you're interested and they're cheap, $10.00 + a couple of bucks for shipping. They're on the big side as they were made for running in Japans rough waters.

Do you have any of those fins left Ron?

 

[Ron Olson]

I should have, I just have to find them.

Did you find those turnfins? :blink:

I found 2 of them but I know that there's more down there somewhere in the wasteland that I call a workshop. One is kind of sharpened and the other not. You might prefer the unsharpened one but it's your choice.

Todd, you've got your choice after him.

Sorry for the delay as somehow I had lost the other reply that you posted earlier..

I had the 2 of them sitting right here but my wife had the nerve to clean the table. Now I have to find out what she did with them.
