We had originally intended to fly a 36" long J, but as the weight increased we switched to the K. I think we only ever purchased the one 54mm casing from Contrail. That said, I've been able to find a lot more photos from the 2007 project than then 2008 project. It took me a long time to figure out what the fins were made out of (turns out they're two sheets of 1/8" 3-ply plywood around a fiberglass/carbon fiber/fiberglass core). I believe so.
