"feels like cheating after all these years"
wbraunsdorf
I finally got this after 30 years of waiting on fins one at a time to set. It feels like cheating setting this thing up and doing them all at once. I can whip right though easy models. the main thing to watch is having the glue run down the tube. One reviewer said to get the glue tacky. I just don't put any on the bottom of the fins. going back and filleting later is easier than trying to cut or sand off glue beads. overall a great product

"Excellent solution for Fin Alignment."
dvmanning (Sparta, MO)
I have used this alignment guide for several years and find this tool an invaluable addition to my model rocket took box. Fins can be attached to the tubes with ease. You will need to apply your glue to the fin surface being attached to the tube and on the fin line itself, allow the glue to get tacky before attaching the fin. The time frame for getting tacky will depend on the type of glue you are using. This alignment tool works every time with the 3 and 4 fin alignments. It is very important to read and understand the instructions for use of the tool. The tool is easy to use. Since the alignment tool has both the 3 and 4 fin configurations, it would really be nice if Estes rockets would design a fin alignment tool for the 5 fin configuration. I work with a group of boys that are building their first rocket and this fin alignment tool has been very useful and timely.

 
"Straight Fins!"
FinBurner (Brandonbacn@outlook.com)
This handy utility makes fin alignment a snap! I wish it worked with 1/16 thick fins as well. Using this utility I can glue all of the fins at one time and they come out nice and strait. It is well worth the money.

 
"must have!"
