Default [WANTED] Scans of the Estes Maverick (1904) Fins

The plans for the Estes Maverick (1904) up on oldrocketplans.com (http://www.oldrocketplans.com/estes/est1904/est1904.htm) don't give an indication of the fin thickness, nor the dimensions of either the complete sheet of fins (Estes BF-1904), or an actual fin.

My printout of the fin template has the root edge of the fins at 1 11/16" long (making the complete sheet of fins 1 3/8" x 8 13/16", and I'm guessing 3/32" thick.

Can someone put up a better scan of the fins (with a ruler next to it)?

Thanks!
Jim

Another option would be for someone to measure the fin's thickness and the root edge. With the image I printed today, I can use that to scale the fin properly.

Thanks!
