Every rocket model on the market has some sort of template that
allows you to mark fin locations on the body tube. It's usually a strip of
paper that you cut out, wrap around the model tightly and then place a
pencil mark on the body on either side of the guide. Other times it's a
piece of paper with the body tube profile and fin locations shown.
After marking the fin locations, you have to extend the lines using a
ruler, door jamb or table edge.
If you're making custom models, then you better have a collection of
paper strips to do the same process for your different tube sizes and
different number of fins, three (triform) or four (cruciform).
Until now!
Venus presents a series of fin marking templates that give you a
generous line along the body tube at the correct angle to help you
locate the correct number of fins.
Made of flexible nylon, the guides fit onto a T-5, T-20 or a T-50 body
tube. A physical index at each end of the Fin Line shows which slot to
use to mark fin location, whether for three or four fins. After marking,
simply remove the Fin Line and start adding fins using your favorite
adhesive.
The Fin Line is easy to use, accurate and "about time".
Custom Fin Line guides, up to 2" diameter are also available. Simply
contact us for pricing and lead time.
