SKILL LEVEL: nearly impossibleGetting those outer fins parallel to the long axis of the rocket would be a challenge for us mere mortals
Eyeball it and pray.

This is where I would use a 3D printed fixture. But that’s partly down to my lower craftsmanship skills.SKILL LEVEL: nearly impossible

True, but I'd have to think really hard about strength and layer orientation.I think it would be quite a bit easier to build the whole thing 3d printed versus just designing that one jig.
The Avalon, to me THAT looked impossible.SKILL LEVEL: nearly impossible

LOL, Have you seen the REST of Neil’s fleet?!. But those would be draggy.
I fly RC gliders, free flight model airplanes of various kinds, have pedaled bikes into the wind, etc. Gratuitous drag offends me. ;-)LOL, Have you seen the REST of Neil’s fleet?!

Or the wrong forum. Please avoid the Grad Queen topic.I mean gratuitous aerodynamic drag. People can dress how they like, as long as they're nice to me.
You’re definitely in the wrong thread.I mean gratuitous aerodynamic drag.
Novel idea, I like it. Would only need to suspend the rocket at exactly the right height, but that'd be easy enough to arrange.I bet those fins would be stronger than they look, all that triangular bracing looks like a decently strong structure. Anyway, it's got nothing on Sir Breaks-a-Lot.
As for building, I'd consider supporting the rocket tube parallel to the workbench, and then gluing the outside fins on one at a time, sitting flat on the workbench. That way, if the body tube isn't quite exactly parallel with the workbench surface, at least all the errors are the same, and the rocket will still fly straight. Looks like a fun build!
can the bar GET any lower?. Anyway, it's got nothing on Sir Breaks-a-Lot.
As far as I know, the late Queen, may she rest in peace, never formally graduated from any institution, though I'm sure her education was top notch. She did have a few honorary degrees, though. What's wrong with discussing that? Other than being off topic in a rocketry forum. But that's easily remedied. One of the rockets in this video appears designed to disturb the air just as much as to fly, just the way so many hobbyists seem to like it.Or the wrong forum. Please avoid the Grad Queen topic.
