Re: Fin Stabalization
same situation here. floppy fins seem fine as long as the ceiling is moderately high enough (>=~25), otherwise they don't do much.sciolynoob wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 6:30 pm Our fins are really floppy right now, we are using standard packing tape. What are yall using?

Re: Fin Stabalization
4 mil Mylar stencil sheets work well. They are rather stiff and can handle the beating when the rocket crashes back to the ground. Alternatively, you can use the plastic sheet dividers and sandwich these between duck tape. We prefer the mylar sheets to get all fins the same shape, size and weight.
