The proportions are odd, the legs look much smaller than i imagined them.

Also gotta fix the tearout, I'm thinking of just taking like an inch off the overall length when I round the tip, which will remove the tearout in the process

I also don't have a fucking clue how I'm gonna clamp them for the glue-up. I'm considering gluing one at a time and using rubber bands. i dunno, let me know if you've got a better idea

The tear out could be turned into a cockpit, ala those cartoon rocketships.

As for the glue up, maybe you could make a block of sacrificial wood to sit in the middle of the fins (below the butt of the rocket) to help give them stability so they don’t fold into each other.

~Loving the updates!~
