Dorsal Fin

Anyone have a good technique for making the cut-out on the Dorsal Fin. There doesn't seem to be much documentation on it either in the plans or on the forums, and I only get one shot at this.

Made mine out of cardboard first , then eye balled the cutout and cut with scissors, trimmed until it was right ,traced the outline to the aluminum part and went for it.
