Bristen Bourque Thank you, this is a method I got from Tim Vanmiligan at Apogee Components, lots of useful stuff on his web site on advance construction
These fins are airfoiled. You trim excess paper with scissors then put the thin CA glue along all edges except the root edge. That will stiffen the paper so that you can sand the edges just enough to get the remaining excess paper off
Always learn something new watching Tim.
Do you use any particular thin CA for sealing the edges? Just wondering if KrazyGlue would work or if something thinner is used.
I use a "Thin" CA glue it absorbs fast and you have a few seconds to wipe the excess off and it flows very freely
very useful video! Thanks for sharing :)

If I sand my fins to get an aerodynamic edge. How do I work the paper on the fine edge?
