Enerjet by Aerotech, Astrobee D Build, Part 2, Fin Prep




The TTW fin tabs are interesting. 
These fins can be used with different diameter body tubes.

Initially I questioned the instruction which said to use pliers to break off the outside half of the fin tab.

After trying my razor saw first, I found the pliers broke off the tab just fine.

It does leave a rough edge that will be sanded clean with 220 grit on a sanding block.



You are also directed to sand down the molding "hub".
On one side of the fin the nub sanded down cleanly.

The other side nub was recessed and will require some filling. If you were to sand this recess all the way down it would end up too deep.

The recess will be filled in the next post.
