I spent several evenings trying to get the fin's diamond shape just right. They seemed flimsy when done, so I reinforced them with kraft paper and thinned Titebond Blue. I used this technique on the balsa fins of my Super Big Bertha and it produced a very strong, lightweight fin that has held up well.
