New Way rockets are known for their square tube designs.
Their kits also include sandpaper, Q-tips and emery boards.
To the left are small fins and tunnels laser cut from 1/16" thick balsa.
I thought those long tunnels would be very hard to shape and fill using the soft balsa.
I bought some 1/16" thick basswood and will cut out new strips.
EDIT: There's a reason these kit supplied tunnel strips are balsa. While basswood is denser with no real grain to fill, the upper, shorter tunnels easily conform to the adapter/body tuber/nose cone angles.
