I have a quick favor to ask of someone who has a Semroc or Estes Saturn 1b handy.
I need to cut out the attitude control jets for the CM. I have the Estes plan, but I'm not sure if the scaling of the hardcopy is correct.
To judge from the "ACTUAL SIZE" drawing, the box is just a hair under 1/4" x 1/8". I believe, but am not sure, that the balsa stock is 3/32. (I can't find any record for BF-29.)
I would be grateful if someone could reality-check this by measuring the box on their finished model.
I have a bunch of 1/8" dowels and a pencil sharpener standing by the really tricky bit, cutting those nozzles!
I will probably assemble, fill, and paint the assemblies and glue them on after applying the decal-wrap I picked up from Excelsior (?) a few years back.
Thanks -- Stefan.
