Jig for Rocket Fins

I started bulding the rocket up by first making a jig to keep the fins orientated 120degrees apart. I decided this was critical for a successful flight and so did this immediately. Some pictures are shown below of this.

I had to sand the cuts in the plywood with sandpaper to widen the gap to allow the Fibreglass fins to snuggly slide in them.
