Thank you for the advice, I'll send him a message.

You're right Samuel but as I only need a turn fin shipping cost is almost as expensive as the parts.

Straight or curved fin?

 

[MathieuDupont]

Hello Glenn,

Thanks for asking : straight fin.

Mathieu, Should be easy then. Find someone in France with a band Saw(metal cutting) that will run at lower speeds with a 18 to 20 tooth per inch blade and they could cut a straight one from Aluminum(3MM thick), Carbon fiber(2.4 MM thick) or Stainless Steel(1.18 MM thick). Approx. 142 MM Long and 64 MM wide. Front and rear edges raked back at a 15% angle. Note: carbon fiber chips when a small branch in the water is hit.If you need a visual I could send one to a e-mail address.

Dick doesn't take any orders right now.

Did you ever get a hold of Mike?

 

[Duck899]

Mike will make anything you want.

 

[MathieuDupont]

Hello,

Yes I did but Mike makes curved fins, I'd prefer a straight one.

Mathieu

 

[Mike Hughes]

Well like Rob said. I can make anything you want. What do you want? Sold lots of my fins without the curve bent into them. Just have to ask.

I've recently made and sold 24 TITAN titanium fins for gas Thunderboats and Sport Hydros however they work on 1/8th scale also. I can make you a straight one (no hook). Price is $106 which includes Paypal and shipping to France. I'll have another batch of fins done sometime in October. My Paypal is [email protected]

Thank you Randy for your offer. Way too pricey for my pocket at the moment, a shame as your titanium fin looks pretty cool.

Titanium is nice. I build them for my boats. It is pricey because the materials cost a lot. Also more difficult to work with. PM sent.
