With my blessing, and the PM's raised eyebrow (he was concerned about
weathercocking).  Smaller fins will satisfy everyone, including us
conservatives, since we've seen more then enough stability, and rather
more weathercocking than we like.  The beauty of the dual module KISS
design is that we can put new fins on KISS Beta, try them, and if we
like them, make identical fins for KISS III.
