Peter Alway Saturn IV Build, Part 4, Details and Fins



The Antenna Panels (Part T) are cut from thin cardboard.
I doubled over some 110 lb. card stock to make it thicker.
Glued stick was used.





Two Antenna Panels were cut out and the edges smoothed.
Six fins (Part K) were cut out of 3/32" balsa.

I'd thought about using basswood but went with the balsa instead.
If the fins were thicker I might have sanded them into a wedge shape like the Saturn 1B fins.

I ended up keeping the 3/32" thick fins and sanding them to a wedge shape.
