Guys,

What is the thickness of those fins? I'm looking at the patterns now, but there's no detail on what size sheet they're cut from. I can whip up that template in minutes, but I need that thickness to know what width to make the slot...

If I had to guess, I'd say they were 1/4" thick (the prototype had very thick fins...) on this model.
