Semroc V2 Build, Part 4, Fin Shaping and Servos

A flat diamond file was used to do a final squaring up to the sand line.










After all four fins were shaped, the remaining
black ink is sanded off.

The X-Kit supplies the narrow fin servos laser cut on the balsa fin sheet. These are small and would be difficult to fill.

When this model was initially worked on, I cut some servos out of basswood. Look close - At that time I laminated some 1/16" basswood to get them to the correct height.

More before and after pictures:

On the left is the squared servo profile.
In the middle the ends have been rounded.
On the right the top and taper to the rear have been rounded.
