Quest Planet Probe #Q1022, Part 3, More Cardstock Prep



The top edge of the fins will glue to the sides of the motor mount tube.

The die-cut edge isn't perfectly flat.
I flattened the root edge with 220 grit on a block for a better glue bond.





The top corner edge of the fins glue to the bottom of the centering ring.

This should be a 90 degree angle. 
I checked with my engineers square. Two of the fin tops needed sanding to square them up.
The centering ring was a good friction around the motor mount tube.

In the right side picture - 
Notice the die-cut ring is slightly rounded on one side. The rounded side was hit by the blade first.
TIP: Glue the ring to the tube with the rounded side facing up. This will give you a better fit in the angled sides of the shroud.
