What are the average thickness of fins on Estes kits? 3/32, 1/8, 3/16? I'm gonna say normal A,B,C, small D's. The larger rockets like the D-Region I think is 3/16, been forever since I replaced the fin. Or am I 1/16 large on that? This will give me a ballpark figure of what I am looking at.

Thanks guys


BFS-10 = 1/32"
BFS-20 = 1/16"
BFS-30 = 3/32"
BFS-40 = 1/8"
BFS-50 = 5/32"
BFS-60 = 3/16"
BFS-70 = 7/32"
BFS-80 = 1/4"

The Cherokee-D used BFS-40.
