Batter Up Build Part 6 Fin Design
I thought I'd have some fun with the fins.
A piece of paper was set next to the bat handle to get an idea of a workable size.
The Estes Pop Fly had clear plastic fins.
On a themed rocket like this, I wanted themed fins.
After looking online, I found some baseball cards.
They were set side by side with a little folding space down the middle.
I was conscious of how they would face after folding. I didn't want them to be read upside down.
These cards will sandwich over 1/16" balsa. The leading edge of the fin will be the fold between two cards.
The cards were printed onto 110 lb. card stock.
