So I wonder if your drawing above is for the 'BT3' Terrier fins. At least I think that's what the Sandhawk figure reads.
(Edit: It looks like it is, based on converting to metric and adding things up. At least to the nearest centimeter. I looked for RIM-2C fin drawings, too, but didn't find any. But it looks like the RIM-2D to 2F fins would be at least 6cm more span.)


It looks like the Nike-Sandhawk and Terrier Sandhawk would make nice 1/6.5 scale PSII type rockets. Sandhawk with the 2" tube. Nike with 2.5". Terrier with BT80.


Terrier BT3 fins ar NOT Nike fins . . . The planform is different.

The "drawing" shows Sandhawk 13 fins . . . Sandhawk 17 fins are different at the aft end of the Booster and larger.
