Estes Gemini-Titan Fin Pattern

There is an error in the fin pattern I drew up many years ago for this model. I had two pattern sheets, both from a collector friend. Both are mis-scaled.

When you read the instructions, it shows that the fin ring is 2 7/16 inches high. That of course should dictate the root length of the fin. My pattern follows one of the sheets I have but that is not correct.

Here is a corrected file from my decal page. Scott, can you swap out this file with the one that is up there now?

Sorry to anyone that may have built a model using this pattern. Of course I did it as well, but that's another story :rolleyes:

Yep, and we discussed this problem ad nauseum at the time. I don't know how I missed the width in the instructions. But that was over 10 years ago so who knows ;)
