Found this gem wile looking for a decent Soyuz. I built it around a BT50, so I could use a D12-3 motor. Average altitude is 1,100 ft.

I've also built the Soyuz from the Lower Hudson Valley site. The Cardstock Soyuz build thread is on the old TRF before the crash.Hey lazarus, after looking here and seeing Blades Soyuz I popped over to the site and downloaded it. Also looking at this one https://www.cardmodels-r.narod.ru/index-e.htm.
Time to get this thread back on track.I used....... 3/16 balsa for the fins since the original cardstock fins kept ripping off, or folding during launch.
Time to get this thread back on track.
Can I ask what weight of cardstock you used for the fins.
I started building this model a while back but haven't done the fins yet. There is a center core that's double thick, with cardstock stringers covered by an outer skin. I was thinking that they would be strong enough based on other models I've done with similar construction.
If not, I think that making the stringers out of double thickness 110 lb stock or 1/32 balsa might be the way to go and still use the outer skins.
