Here are kit pics of the one I had it the stash. I had to shrink the front side one down even though at my end it reported being less than 2 MB.
Are you sure there were slotted-tube ones from North Carolina? If so that would have had to be a relatively recent change, as part of the point of the My Boid was that you didn’t know which nose cone or which fins you’d get, and I can’t imagine Carl would have made up a bunch of tabbed variations of fin sets just for My Boid kits.
Now when Randy redid it for a 13mm motor mount and the fiber fins, adding the slots made some sense.

In case someone stumbles on this thread, there are pictures of a North Carolina Boid with fin slots here from 2011: http://www.semroc.com/Store/scripts...ts.asp?SKU=KA-6.
I agree it would have been a big effort to add the tabs to the laser cutting files! It is so far not known when the change was made between 2005 and 2011.
