The proportions are odd, the legs look much smaller than i imagined them.
Also gotta fix the tearout, I’m thinking of just taking like an inch off the overall length when I round the tip, which will remove the tearout in the process
I also don’t have a fucking clue how I’m gonna clamp them for the glue-up. I’m considering gluing one at a time and using rubber bands. i dunno, let me know if you’ve got a better idea
Put a fin in a vise. Clamp the fuselage to the vise.
Don’t over clamp and press all the glue out.
Hmmmmmmmm I like that, but I doubt I have the equipment to do it
How about - use an offcut that the body sits in at an angle such that the fin-body join is horizontal - the fin being in the clamp. Apply pressure with a weight on top and use masking tape to hold loosely together?
Not to be that guy, but fixturing/jigs is one of those spots where a 3d printer and cad skills could come in handy. It would be pretty straightforward to draw up some blocks that support the fins and you could put a band clamp around.
Yeah, my first thought was “you could 3d print something for that”.
But to be fair… that’s my first thought on any problem these days…
Glue and Trim/Brad (nail) gun would work.
