Ultimate Rocket Fin Guide. Three models to choose from.
Hello, I have been making the Ultimate Rocket Fin Guide for a while now and have had some really good feed back from past customers. I decided to make two different sized Fin Guides to offer an option for my customers. These Fin Guides are a must have for any serious builder and take all of the stress out of keeping your fins straight and perfectly spaced out from each other while gluing them on to your body tube.
All of the guides are precision CNC cut out of aluminum and will last a life time unlike some of the other cheap plastic jigs on the market. Each model has adjustable fin guides that bolt into place and can be mounted horizontally or vertically depending on the type of rocket your building. The fin guides can easily be changed for three or four fin rockets and other number of fins can be done by easily too. I like to use CA glue on my fins which dries in moments. After the glue dries I remove the rocket from the jig and add fillets of glue to the sides of the fins for strength. By using the CA glue you can build a whole fleet of rockets in an after noon. My small Ultimate Fin Guide is made on a 4"x4" base plate and comes with one fin guide, one clamp and two body tube mandrels of your choice. Other mandrel sizes can be ordered for $20 each. The small sized fin guide takes a little longer to use verses large fin guide, but the investment is less and will still make rocket building easier and more accurate. The price for the Small Ultimate Rocket Fin Guide is $49.95 plus shipping. My large Ultimate Fin Guide is made on a 6"x6" base plate and comes with four fin guides, four clamps, and three body tube mandrels of your choice. Other sizes can be ordered for $20 each. The Large sized fin guide allows you to glue three or four fins in place at one time and has a larger base plate allowing you to build bigger rockets than with the small fin guide. The cost for the Large Ultimate Fin Guide is $125.00 plus shipping. The pictures below are from my 4"x4" Fin Guide and 5"x5" Fin Guide. I will have some pictures posted soon of the 6"x6" Fin Guide. ***I have a few slightly blemished 5"x5" sized guides for sale in another post if you looking to save a few bucks.*** I can custom make body tube mandrels of any size and have most of the Estes Body tube sizes in stock. Some of the stocked sizes are below. If you have any questions or would like to place an order you can contact me at ibuildstuff4u@gmail.com Thanks, Dale P.
