I was browsing in my (sort of) local hobby shop and their rocket section had bagged Estes Alpha III kits. I have only seen them in starter sets so I took a look at them. I noticed that the bag had bent one of the fins on the fin can slightly. No damage, just a little curve. Is it easy to bend the fin back into place? I didn't get one (I bought a Semroc Laser-X kit instead :cool: ) but I might get one as I have never has an Alpha III, just a good old "regular" Alpha.
 
If you tried to bend it back straight, it might damage the fin. Maybe laying a heavy book(s) on the fin for a while may help it.
