Great little tool that makes installing fins on rocket tube infinitely easier.
Cheap and effective. I wish I had this when I was a kid. 90% of the time when I had a problem with model rockets as a kid it was because of fin alignment, and this goes a long way towards eliminating that problem with model rocket kits that need balsa wood fins attached to a cardboard tube. I have built several kits with my son and have had no problem with fin alignment. You still have to be careful, but this eliminates the guessing and trying to line up measurements on a curved surface so everything is straight and spaced evenly.

a rocket builder's basic tool
Easy to use to insure that the fins are accurately placed.

worth it
I was unsure how useful it would be based on some of the reviews, but I tried i immediately today on a Big Bertha very successfully. the technique is basically to let one fin set up first and then attach the others. not perfect, but does what it says. recommended if you build a lot of rocket kits.

this device is a pain to use hard to keep center
It is harder to lineup fins with this device than to just to free hand it

The four fin arrangement works great, but I seem to be on a 3 ...
I'd have given it a star or two more if one of the backets on the three fin arrangement wasn't loose. Causes these rockets to fly with bit of a wobble. The four fin arrangement works great, but I seem to be on a 3 fin kick.

Macht was es soll !
Viele Jahre habe ich die Flossen meiner Modellraketen mit Augenmaß und Flosse für Flosse angeklebt, was doch recht mühsam und Zeitaufwändig war. Jetzt geht es in einen rutscht. Ich habe das Teil auf ein Brett montiert was ein umkippen vermeidet. Die mitgelieferten Adapter passen gut bei normalen Flossen, ich habe mir noch eigene Adapter aus alten Motoren gebaut um noch flexibler zu sein, mittlerweile möchte ich das Teil nicht mehr missen.
