A friend of mine has a Cub Scout den that wants to make some model rockets. I recommended the Estes' bulk packs. We were discussing the difference between the Viking and Alpha packs. As I recall, the Alpha (not Alpha III) has balsa fins and I thought that might be a bit more difficult to build in the time allotted since the glue on the fins would need to dry.
Tom came up with the idea of using a hot glue gun for the fins. Not sure I like the idea, hot glue has a tendency to not stick well in some situations.
Anyone tried this?
