Here's the Big Girtha finished and ready for the next N.E.F.A.R. launch in Bunnell, Florida on September 11.
I didn't get into the fin masks this time, my methods have been explained before. I wanted to concentrate on the tape trim stripes.
I was happy with the way this one turned out.
- I haven't made a scratch baffle in a while, I forgot how easy they were to make.
- I don't paper the fins very often, next time I'd do another primer coat and sand on the fins.
- While I can see why some prefer papering fins, I didn't feel I saved any time. They did require covering, trimming, filling the edges, priming, sanding and spray painting. But considering the core is balsa, they feel much stronger!
