Great Fin Alignment Idea



On TRF, Gary Saito posted a few pictures of his New Way rockets Flat Boy build. At first glance this looks like a rocket sitting on a stand.

"Since I didn't have a fin jig for a square tube I used the legs of the display stand and line of sight to align the fins."



Viewed from the rear - 

"Here's a couple of pics showing visual alignment of fins using the legs of a display stand. For four fins I use Qualmann's, for three fins it's Estes. However the Qualmann stands are made of fiberboard, so the squareness may vary depending on how carefully it was put together."

Thanks Gary! I love this tip - Simple and Brilliant!
