Currently I'm in the process of building an Enerjet Athena clone and need a full-scale fin pattern if anyone has one.
Thanks !

Well, I tried drawing up a fin plan from the catalog page:

http://www.ninfinger.org/~sven/rockets/catalogs/enerjet72/72ejet12.html

But the darned line drawing is not to scale......

I would use the Orion fin pattern. I know that Doug Holverson used it for his clone.

Still working on decals...

Actually, I used the Centurion patterns.

Still have to finish the thing up....

Hope that you didn't cut out and sand the fins before I posted.... ;)

I am using the Centurion pattern....should have them cut-out by the weekend.
I'm working on a Sky Dart clone at the same time, so progress may be a little slow.

Phred: Any progress on the decals ?

Instead of using the Centurion pattern, I just ordered a laser-cut set of Centurion fins from Semroc; saved me cuttin' time !
The Enerjet Athena clone is about 2/3 completed.
Next up on the build is the mounting of the 4 pods at the rear of the main tube & the installation of the body wraps I got from Neubauer.
Now if the Orion/Athena nose cone would finally arrive from Moldin' Oldies I'd be all set.

Is Neubauer selling just the wraps? If so, how much?

They are wraps for his 2.6" upscale Orion that is now out of production.
They will have to be trimmed to fit the 1.6 and 2.0" tubes on my Athena clone.
He only has a FEW sets left.
I paid Neubauer $13.85 including shipping for the wraps.

Good to know, thanks. Could you post contact info here for those that may be interested in ordering a set?
