Now for the mounting.

It was necessary to undercut the skin on the root edges of all of the fins to ensure the tab reached the engine tube. Since I'm gluing balsa to BT and balsa to styrene in the same operation I'll use epoxy. I mix and apply the 15 min. epoxy to the slot tab and to the root of the core of (2) fins and insert them into the fin can.

As the resin hardens I maintain the alignment with the steel ruler.
