Estes Reflector Build, Part 6, Rounding the Leading Edge
As directed in the instructions:
The leading edge is rounded, all other edges are square.
Getting the inside angle on the leading edge strake can be hard to get smooth.
I wrapped some 220 grit tight around a small dowel and rounded the inside angle first.
With the angle already rounded I could sand outside the angle with a block.
Sand up to the rounded inside corner matching up the rounded edges.
The fins, launch lug and standoff got a coat of CWF and was sanded almost to surface.
At that inside edge the corner was sanded smooth with 400 grit wrapped around the Q-tip stick.
