Estes Mini Arcas, #2441, Part 7, Fin Fill


When applying the CWF, clear that small notch above the root edge round cut out.

After sanding the dry CWF, round out the root edge cut out with a small rat tail file.


Here's the before and after CWF sand.

The small notch above the cut out aligns with the boat tail / body tube seam.







The fit of the fin root edge was very good.

The original ARCAS fins had a diamond taper. This smaller version just has a rounded leading edge. It would be very difficult to sand a diamond taper in 1/16" thick balsa.
