A few new builds.

I launched it on a B4-4 I think it was? It in the video below if I can get it to post.... But because this was my first time papering fins, I used the glue/water/copy paper method. It worked great just warped the fins slightly.

I do the paper/glue method too. I put glue on one side of the fin, spread it out, wipe off most of it with my finger, stick on the paper, immediately clamp the fin between 2 smooth boards. After 15 minutes I take it out and do the other side, then put it back between the boards. I let it set for 12 hours. They are almost always smooth and straight. I do it mostly to make the fins strong in the direction perpendicular to grain and it works well for that.

I've been doing shipping labels then thin or medium CA on the edges(to unsure they won't rip off under thrust), then some light sanding if need be. The Crossfire took about 20 mins..
