I'm amazed at the advances made since I lit a fuse and ran for cover when my first rocket was launched in 1959. I didn't return to the hobby until the Discovery channel aired the Rocket Challenge last year. Since then, I've bought kits from the big boys mostly and a few others. Most have what they call "laser" cut fins, and some simply supplied a pattern and balsa. All of that is fine with me, but my latest kit leads me to believe there are different levels of "laser" quality. Opening up my Semroc Hydra 7 kit revealed laser cut fins like I've never seen. The entire set is crisp, clearly outlined and practically jumped out of the board with minimal effort. Why are these so good and others not? Am I missing something here? I always thought laser cut was laser cut and that was that.
