I just finished building a LOC 2.6 Patriot. It looks fantastic though I didn't go all scale with the decals.(see pictures) There is one issue I need to address here.....
Take a look at the fin joints. 2 of the fins, right at the join, are lined up properly. Do not blame the camera angle or anything other than the alignment. Could it be the tube cut-outs are defective.?? I used gridlines in photoshop to make everything straight. You can see the left fin is perfectly straight. The right fin is Not On Plane and glued in just slightly crooked. The joints are off by the thickness of the plywood fin.
Is this okay to fly.?? I noticed the issue right away when I epoxied the fins. I carried on with the build. Comments please..... I love this rocket as is, but......
