1. UK Clubs (affiliated clubs have logos next to them)
http://www.blackknights.org.uk
The Black Knights is a thriving rocket club based in the Midlands. We fly once a month from one of our two current flying sites at Oxhill, Warwickshire, and Milson, Shropshire. Full details of the clubs flying sites are on our website. We actively promote the hobby in the Midlands by attendance at exhibitions, fetes, air shows, conferences etc. As well as flying locally, members travel to other launch events around the country to fly and help out with Range Safety Officer duties when asked and in the summer, we try to hold a weekend flying event. Members of the Black Knights were founder members of UKRA and helped draft the Safety Code/Constitution and much of the original UKRA documentation that gained UKRA its BMFA recognition and insurance for members.

This tool will take a rocksim file and generate a fin template for printing.

It essentially takes a Rocksim file and converts 1mm to 10px, so be warned when trying larger fins! It should handle multiple fin sets, custom fins, standard fins and fin tabs, although it won't handle elliptical fins.
