I know - enough with the Micro Maxx rockets -
let's build something with a little more power!
I decided to go with 3/32" thick fins. 1/16" balsa seemed a little thin.
This is a sport scale model so I'm going for a little more strength.
The fin pattern on Mr.Wilfong's drawings were very close. Matching the angle of the boat tail only took a little sanding with a block to get a good joint.
There is a 1/8" step from the end of the body tube to where the tail cone starts to angle in. This'll require a little filling. I'll probably end up just filling the small hole in balsa root edge instead of filling the entire tailcone step.
