Re: pic: steering
How thick is your plywood? (I'm assuming that's what the 'fins' are made of) Because it doesn't look all that thick and doesn't wood bend fairly easily when it has such a large surface area (based on the comparison to the person next to it) If the wood started flexing during your 'flight' is it possible that it would horrible mess up your steering abilities? Have you considered a more rigid material by chance..
