Default Cutting Rocket Body Fin Openings

Just about jumped ahead, by posting the next post.

For this one I cut the openings for the stabilizer fins. Once I cut the length, the next step was to very carefully cut the bulkheads to let the balsa glue tabs on the fins fit inside.

This step is best done with a brand new blade in the knife, or stropping the blade on some leather or 1000 grit sand paper to sharpen.

Note:

All fins and locations have been marked to verify correct placement of fins. Will add these markings to the updated rocket PDF when this is done.
