Semroc Saturn 1B, Build, OOP #KS-1, Part 26, Built-Up Fins

Please note: These build times are for construction of a single fin.

Do some test fitting on the internal braces before gluing anything in place.
The smaller upper edge of the first "A" brace should be sanded at an angle to fit against the "B" brace.

TIP: Set the fin angle and the sanding block over the dashed line on the fin skin to approximate the sanding angle.


Here's the tip angle I came up with.

I used Aileen's Tacky Glue to adhere the brace. It is thicker than Elmer's and shouldn't shrink up the skin around the brace.

Don't use much glue and don't do an fillet.
The low end edge came out short and will require some filling later on.


Build time this post: 0 hour, 10 minutes
Total build time so far: 26 hours, 35 minutes
