I haven’t repaired my 24mm conversion yet which was outside for 6months. I went to repair my original skywinder that was outside for one month because the fincan seperated from the tube and I couldn’t find it. When I found it the tube and was wet and curved a bit. When I looked at last year before repairing it, I discovered the tube dried with only a little staining and lifting in the outer wrap and had straightened out. So the repair just required gluing the tube back on the coupler that’s above the fincan. The bad news is on the 41st flight and fourth launch after the repair, the plastic slide that joins the nosecone to the tube that takes the brunt of the ejection charge and vents the charge, sheared through the three legs, one that was previously reinforced with a piece of styrene, you can see in the pictures. If anyone has an idea about how to repair this damage let me know.
I’ll prioritize repairing the other Skywinder with the tt20+ and bt20 nested and let you know how it goes.
