With the fin roots coming in at a whopping 21.875", this thing ate a LOT of epoxy and colloidal silica.

Just for fun I did the math. With 12 pumps in total, it used about 10.8 ounces. West System epoxy on Amazon is $1.28/oz ish (disregarding the cost of the included pumps, since the price without them is about the same) we land on around $14 worth of JUST epoxy! If you factor in gloves, tape, and colloidal silica, these fillets probably cost over $20! Lol

What's the point of all this? I dunno man there isn't one. This rocket is sick and I'm excited.

That's why we don't do financial analysis on our rockets

The fins on my Wildman Ultimate Interceptor are 35.8". I never thought to do the math on them. I don't think I will. Your rocket is looking great so far.

This is why adhesive manufacturers should be sponsoring your rocket flights more than any other type of business.
