That's -really- similar to the Malemute fins, scaled from 16" motor diameter to 18". Except the tip chord. The Terrier swept delta fin has a smaller tip chord, and maybe a slightly wider span. I didn't run all the numbers.

Grrr... now I'm contemplating making a proper variant of the Terrier at this scale. That means i have to make a couple more 3.44" tubes. Well, the holidays are coming up and I've got plenty of vacation time.

A Talos with the Terrier-esque fins would be more challenging - I don't have another piece of 5" shipping tube. And probably wouldn't use it if I had. That stuff is -heavy-.
