Estes Teros Upscale, Part 7, Fin Cutting and Change

I always thought the fin span on the Teros was pretty wide.
It'll look even wider on the 2X upscale.
The purists may not like this, but I am cutting about 1/2" from the outside of the fins.
The nose cone is a close to the correct size, the fins will be too.

The original model had 3/32" thick fins, the upscale will double that with the fins at 3/16" thick.
I'll cut eight fins from 3/32" stock and laminate.
That's a lot of balsa!

All eight pieces were pinned together for gang sanding.

When gang sanding be sure the edges are straight and sanded flat.
