Scavenger! Build Part 25 Monokote Trim Stripes



The paper cover envelope was cut on the drawn pencil lines.

We'll only be using the center piece for a template.




The center piece was opened up and taped to the gold Monokote trim material.
You can still see the crease at the middle or the fold at the leading edge.

The high point in the middle of the strip is the leading edge.
If measured and cut correctly, the cut Monokote should lay right over the leading edge and the two sides will fall straight down the face of the fin and meet at the bottom.



Set the tip of the leading edge at the middle of the 1/8" thick fin and work down from the top.
Don't burnish the Monokote trim until you are sure of the final position looking at both sides of the fin.
Also, don't burnish the trailing edges, those will be trimmed with a razor blade in the next post.
