I have a rocket I'm building, and the forward rail button is a bit off - I had drilled the hole in the tube, and noticed it had wandered a bit off the desired position. I had intended to wallow out the hole a bit in the correct direction, but my son distracted me and I forgot, epoxying the rail button flange in the tube, only to notice later that it is crooked. I estimate it is off about 1/32nd or so, not quite an 1/16th. Maybe 3-4 degrees misaligned?
So my question is this: how tolerant of misalignment are 1010 rails? I don't have a rail section on hand to try and see for myself. I'd hate to have to somehow remove the button flange, patch up the hole with a patch on the tube interior, and re-do it in a different location.
