The homing beacon is cut off the vacu-form sheet the same way the larger pieces were.
Ball point pen outline, then scoring the edge.
Break away the sides by cutting and cracking off angled wedges.
The sides are a little rough after the first cuts.
Sand the bottom flat until the edge starts to roll off.
The finished beacon wasn't perfectly round.
The instructions say to sand down the overlap seam 3/8" wide, 1/8" from the rear. The pencil marks show how wide that marking is - too long.
On the left, the overlap ridge is removed to fit the actual diameter of the beacon.
On the right, the fitted and glued on beacon.
