Fin alignment tool?

[RocketDoc]

I recently saw a post where a member was using a tool that looked similar to a triangular carpenter's square to make sure his fins were straight, and now I can't find it again. If anyone knows of the post I'm talking about, please throw me a link?

Thanks!

There is a little channel / notch at one end used to hold fins vertical while the glue dries..

be warned, it s not fool-proof..


could be this too..

Thanks, but it was metal and looked somewhat (but not exactly) like a triangular carpenter's square like this:

@RocketDoc --

This is not what you described but it is a handy site to bookmark for fin ops:

Payload Bay: Online Rocketry Tools

There is a nice Fin Guide Tool that creates a precise PDF

Or a Fin Wrap Tool

The Fin Guide Tool can be used to make a do-it-yourself fin alignment jig which might be what you saw here on TRF ?
