Bonded the left tailfin's strake today.

I finished the last of the internal fillets and bonded the right
wing's strake. I also started work on the payload section by bonding
the bulkhead into the coupler. For some reason, I've ignored working
on it, wasting some perfectly good excess epoxy from other sessions.

Bonded the left wing's strake.

Filled the aft section of the rocket with PML's two part expanding
foam. Bonded the coupler/bulkhead into the payload section. PML
has started making a coupler rather than peeling down a corresponding
body tube. The downside of this was the 3 inch coupler was very
thin and flimsy. The new couple is much thicker, but fits a little
too loose in my opinion.
