Comrades:
Thanks again for the scale data.
The attachment has fin patterns, shrouds and fin mounts for a nominal 1/10 scale Ute or Paiute. The Sport Scale fin is slightly over-sized in chord and span. The pattern is from the Ute-Tomahawk brochure. It's what I used for my Ute prototype and it has flown several times without so much as a chipped fin. The scale fin is from the cool scale data posted in this thread. It too has a slight scale deviation at the bottom cutaway. It seems that the boat-tail on the real thing was not a true cone but tapered more near the bottom. Also, the fin mounts themselves were on individual areas of the boat-tail that could best be described as bulged. That's way more trouble than I'm going to go to for 1/10 scale so I adjusted the lower root edge of the fin pattern to allow it to fit a straight tapered boat-tail.
There's a scale to make sure you printed correctly and the little line on the fins is the point where tube/boat-tail joint goes.
