Default Estes Long Tom question.

I don't know if this anomaly about the Long Tom has been addressed before, but:

I'm putting the fins on the sustainer of an Estes Long Tom (new kit) and the location of the fins from the rear end of the sustainer's BT55 seems to be vague in the instructions. The instructions appear to show them registered to the end of the tube, but the packaging shows them approx. 1/2" forward.

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks!

from the look of in the 2013 cat; it would appear that the 2nd angle point(away from the body) is even with the aft end of the body tube(presumably that is what you are calling the 1/2" mark), however the Centuri version looks to have the root end about 1/4" from the aft end...twere me I would go with the 1/4" point, just to honor the old version.
