Look at the booster fins on this picture shown earlier on the blog.
Those booster fins are very thin.
The fin stock in the kit is 1/8" thick.
That works great for the upper stage fin taper, but the booster fins would look clumsy.
I wanted to cut new fins from 1/16" thick ply but didn't have any at hand.
I did have some very dense 1/16" thick balsa.
Here's one of the new thinner fins on the right.
It looks larger than the thicker original, but it is the same size.
