V2 fin technique?

[graylensman]

Building my first-ever V2 clone - 18mm, fron the old Estes plans on JimZ's site - and I wuz wondering:

does anyone have any tips on how to sand those sharp bevels on the fins??

I've just used a sanding block with a medium grit paper
I draw a line down the center of the fin edge
and where the taper starts ,it goes quick and easy thru balsa

If using anything heavier than balsa, you can't beat a Dremel or other such rotary tool. Tape off where you want the bevel to end, and sand to it.

thanks, all! Hopefully I won't have to make a godzillion fins to achieve useable results
