That’s what iam thinking looks to long will see what loc says I guess I can always cut them but nice when that’s already taken care of lolI dont think the fins are cut right.
Will they fit if you slid fin up on that second step? LOC will make it right. They have great customer service.That’s what iam thinking looks to long will see what loc says I guess I can always cut them but nice when that’s already taken care of lol
Good thoughtWill they fit if you slid fin up on that second step? LOC will make it right. They have great customer service.
Just call LOC they will get you a new set out. I would bet if you emailed them today they would get back to you today.Good thought
I gave that a try but nope not working
I Messed with it for like 30 mins iam like I have to be missing something lol but appears cut wrong
They often hang around in the shop on the weekends so you may get an answer today.True
I sent a email alittle earlier with the picture see what they say
I believe they will make it right
They seem like a good company
I’d buy the old fins and rings from you to save me from cutting my own. I love these birds! One of mine has twin outboard 29’s. Avionics in the nose. Hit me up [email protected]Just heard back from the guys at LOC and they were awesome. They said definitely the wrong fins and they immediately shipped out the correct ones and threw in some extra rings just to be safe. Gotta give it to LOC they are good to there customers
Stand by for the continuation of the build lol
are those rings a separate purchase? Mine didn't come with anything like that.starting a build thread on a minie magg 38mm 5.5 Diameter from loc precision I will try to take pics at each step and post how it goes and thoughts on it. In the mean time if anyone has any advise on the magg feel free to share lolView attachment 424125
New management, Eric. They’re still feeling their way around.
Yes, probably so.Hasn't it been at least a couple of years now?
+1 they are awesome. The Mini Mag also got a redesign on the fin attachment not too long after the change of owners, it went from a TTW that used tabs just after it went through the airframe wall (the fin tabs never touched the motor tube), to a full length TTW like currently where the fin tabs go from airframe to motor tube. I believe the change added a bit of weight too.The LOC guys do a great job. They will bend over backwards to help anyone out.
I like LOC rockets, and they have great customer service when something isn’t right. They fix it with no argument and no delay.
But it seems like the mistakes happen too often. Instructions and parts lists often don’t match current designs. If you look at that description in the picture posted above, that’s not the correct weight by a long shot. It says 40 oz, but the parts alone weigh over 50 oz. I bought mine thinking it would be a cool big class 1 rocket for my non-HPR club, It says it’s 40 oz and can fly on a G80, so that would be perfect. But there’s no way it’s going to make the 53 oz weight cutoff after it’s built and has a motor in it. I’m still going to build it and enjoy it at my HPR club launches, but it’s annoying to buy something based on bad info from a vendor.
Weights are almost always way off, most builders build rockets heavier than the "display model" also there is no standard configuration for measuring the advertised weights.I've bought a bunch of LOC kits, and there was definitely a period where they all had issues. Probably had four in a row that were bad. Never had an issue getting replacement parts so I stuck with them. And the ones I've received this year have been correct. So I'm hoping the drunk cousin in the shipping department (or so I imagine it) has sobered out or something and he won't have a relapse.
But with a LOC kit it's probably worth doing some extra inventory and dry fitting early on so you don't get half way through and realize you're in trouble and have to stop the build.
And as noted the weights are way off on the website. If you are buying for a particular purpose you basically have to totally ignore them.
