The Fin Alignment Guide is a classroom essential for teaching precision and craftsmanship in model rocketry. Designed to ensure perfectly aligned fins every time, this tool helps students achieve consistent, stable flights while learning key engineering principles. Its durable, precision-molded construction allows for accurate fin placement on body tubes ranging from BT-20 to BT-80.

With adjustable holders that accommodate three or four fins, the Fin Alignment Guide supports 3/32 in. or 1/8 in. balsa, basswood, or plywood fins. Teachers and students alike will appreciate how it simplifies the fin attachment process—eliminating the need to manually hold fins in place while adhesive dries. It’s an ideal addition to any classroom, camp, or workshop where hands-on learning takes flight.
