Major Update :
I scrapped the balsa fins idea. And made some new ones from 3mm Lite Ply. As this thing will be flying on Estes E9's or maybe CHAD staging D12-0 -> E9-6.
The bodytubes where cut to legnth , Joined using a coupler , and the 'gap' filled with Ronseal Woodfiller.
2nd coat of woodfiller on the sprials. Sanded down to a glass like texture.
Seam on the nosecone filled once again & nosecone sanded down.
Sanded all the fins down , and filled some of the 'split' edges with woodfiller.
Sanded them down once again.
Marked up the BT.
Tacked each fin down with 12min Epoxy..
Constructed the mmt & kevlar/shockcord attachement ect...
Filleted all the fins with Woodglue.
Layer of woodfiller over each fillet & sanded.
Now all remains is paint & decals
She might have a change of flying on Saturday if the weather holds up. E9-6 all the way
