Here's the five-sided Athena Saucer, The shroud is ready to be glued on the motor mount assembly.
I didn't use a fin alignment guide on this five fin model. The fins were easily glued on fin lines printed on the motor wrap.
The shroud aligned easily when glued on the leading edges of the fins.
This saucer design is my favorite of the two I put together.
At the top of the shroud are five "flairs". These are card stock extensions that curve up and glue to the motor mount tube.
In the picture, a small drop of glue is set below the printed "flair" connection point on the motor mount wrap.
When the glue drop starts to set up, the shroud flair extension is rolled into the glue. The lines on the shroud flair and the print lines on the motor mount wrap should match up. Hold in place until it sets in the correct position.
The "flairs" when dry.
The flairs add a nice curve and flow to the design.
