Built-up fins for the new HoJo
With the MR painting disaster now behind me, I sliced open a new Estes Honest John kit.
Instead of doing the 3-layer balsa fins, I'll try doing built-up fins of a balsa core and cardstock skins--much like the old pro-series Patriot. After separating the (4) fin cores from the sheet I use one of the laminate leading edge pieces as a template to pencil a line on each side of each core. Using the blunted point one of "the Vixen's" old nail files I press a groove into each side of each fin core. I then apply a line of Titebond Red into the groove on one side only for now. I then register a piece of 1/16" dowel into the glued groove. I hope this works, or I'll be cutting (4) new core pieces! TBC
