Being new to Rocket building I am lacking in what is proper expectations. Today I received the Wildman Drago kit. First, which is not a really big deal, the kit came with plastic rail buttons instead of the advertised 1/4 lugs. Although the lugs were part of the reason I chose this rocket.
More disconcerting to me is the way the parts fit. I expected to have a snug enough press fit that the rocket would stay together for a before photo. Not the case. The fins fall out, the centering rings on the motor mount are so loose that I can't use them to hold the fins in place.
Is this common? I thought I would have to do some sanding but now it looks like I need shims.
Is this normal?
