I know is a 'generalization' and there are many variables... but in general any
know what sort of acceleration or velocity makes one say,
"Okay, 1/8 inch surface mounted fins are gonna shred."
I realize the planform makes a big difference because of flutter. Just curious
because I been simulating some of my paper and balsa 24mm MMT rockets using the
newly cert'd CTI 24mm loads. The F240VM gets into the 800ft/sec range! (For
comparison an D15 is 230 and an E28 is about 450 ft/sec)
