YARDLEY, Pennsylvania USA — Hawk Mountain has developed an aluminum fin canister for their 4" fiberglass tubing. This is a military grade unit machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with beveled 0.125" thick fins!

The fin can screws together on the airframe and if a fin is damaged it can be easily replaced. The fin can weighs 1.5 pounds and is clear anodized which will resist corrosion and can be painted with regular paint. The fin canister can be used for a 4" minimum diameter rocket or can be used with airframes with 38, 54 or 75mm motor mounts. Besides being strong enough for mach flights you can easily remove the fin canister if your rocket suffers damage to the airframe.

The Fin Canister sells for $98.00.
