ASP Micro Sandia Sandhawk Build, Part 3, Cutting Out The Fins


Underneath the four fins is the remaining fin plastic
There is enough fin material for eight fins!



- If you back them up end to end when doing the tracings.




Score the plastic and bend at the cut line to separate the pieces.
TIP: You can score the narrow tip a bit deeper than the rest of the fin sides so the break line remains straight.

The fins edges are cleaned up with 220 grit on a sanding block.





The instructions suggest the leading edges can be sharp. 
I rounded the leading edge and left the other sides square.







It helps to keep the small parts in a zippered baggie. 
These small pieces can end up anywhere!
