Estes Great Goblin, #9724 Build, Part 14, Fitting The Fins




Here's a ready for gluing fin showing some of the filler/primer sanded off near the root edge fillet area.








On the left is a fin root base that doesn't quite seat all the way onto the body tube.

On the right is the same fin, fitted.







The root edge of the TTW tab was lightly sanded.
Sand a bit, test the fit. Sand a little more, test again.

You may have to sand a little on the recessed tab above the centering ring notch.







Each fin was fitted to its own fin slot.
The fin root edge was marked and the tube was numbered to each fitted fin.

I'd recommend keeping track as you go. It's easy to mix them up.
