Fin and spoiler are definitely problems to solve! We have some neat solutions, which we're working with Ben to develop and iterate.
I'll give you a hint with two words though: She Wee.
Yeah, we tried to see what it'd be like to have them behind the panel...it doesn't work. We'll make them externally accessible.
Attaching a bad photo of the prototypes. These are 3d printed, final will be billet aluminum.
You can totally latch/unlatch from inside! One of the biggest benefits of making stuff ourselves, in America, is that we can create custom solutions that respond to real world use cases and actual customer needs.
Hey guys, a bunch of you have emailed me about this already, but just a reminder that the sale ends Friday. Hit me up and I'll make sure you can take advantage of it.

Sorry for the delayed response, been beach camping in Mexico and the idea of setting up Starlink wasn't bringing me joy the last few nights...
Talked to the boss. He says email [email protected] and they'll have good news for you.
