LOC Precision Weasel 29 Fin template
 
I am looking for the LOC Precision Weasel Fin Template. I see the fin is precut in the kit, but I need a template if anyone has or will to make one from an actual fin. I was given a partial kit, but its missing the main tube less the payload, engine mount w/rings, chute and coupler. I am pricing parts out with LOC Precision , but Barry @ LOC Precision states the parts I need are more expensive than kit itself. I am looking around for parts outside LOC Precision to fill out part needs as well. Any feedback is welcome. :D

Hmmmmm...... I just bought one of those when they were on sale at Hobbylinc a few weeks ago... if no one else gets there first, I could probably do a quick trace and scan and post/mail.

There's a RockSIM file on Rocket Reviews...

I just pulled the fins out of my kit....they almost but not quite match the dimensions in the .rkt file. Here is a screen capture of OpenRocket with the values tweaked to match my fin set.

Second one is converting to freeform so the points of the shape are given in coordinates....

That is great!! Thanks!. On mroe quesiton. Is your main tube Carbon Fiber? The kit I have is thick walled rolled paper.

Nope - really heavy thick-walled paper. Coming from a model rocket (and lifetime model airplane) background it that tube looks like serious overkill and much heavier than it needs to be....but all is not as it seems in rocketry I am learning now that I've been back at it for coming up on three years.

Yes. That is the same here in all mentioned.
