I'm watching Got a 2X in progress and an 6X up in the garage Got all the stuff for an 8X but I want to do that for my 3rd level
If you get two aluminum angles from the hardware store you can tape them on the tube with just enough gap to slide the fin between them for gluing - you will end up with perfectly aligned fins.
Can't wait to see how this turns out. The Ramjet is probably one of my favorite Estes kits of all time and I had been giving some thought to upscaling. I have LOC 7.67" and 5.5" tubes; not sure how close that combo is to scale but probably close enough. What are the overall dimensions of the tubes you're working with?
I'm cheating on the 2X I'm building, the strakes are full length and not broken into 18 little pieces. This is to try it out before the 8X version. I made the 18 strake blocks for the 6X, what a pain...
