Estes Gyroc Build Part 3, Hinge Cutting and Prep


The tape hinge material is "pressure sensitive" paper.
It's just sticky paper with a removable backing.

I'll cut them from the left over borders from a CD label.


Some extras were cut, I always make extras.







The nose cone will be glued in place and the joint seam filled.
I went ahead and sanded the shoulder to better match the body tube diameter.


All the leading and trailing edges of the fins were rounded.
The straight sides at the hinge were left square.
