Updating the Estes Fin Alignment Guide - Reload

Описание: Note: This is the same video as before with the exception of the background music.

The Estes Fin Alignment Guide is a tool that I use quite often here in the AAEN Fabrication Shop. It helps you align either a set of 3 fins or 4 fins on the model and hold them in place while the glue drys. It is perfect for 3/32 and 1/8-inch thick fins. The design of the Fin Alignment Guide has not changed since 1980.

In this episode we are going to look at several modifications we have made to the Guide. We believe these updates can make the guide more useful and expand the number of models that can be built.
