I came across a small (pun intended) problem doing Sorcerer. The flipper from fizx looked a little small in height compared to the flyer and other images I have. It was rather noticeable on the top flipper (or I should say wasn't noticeable). Not a problem, just raised the height. The williams fizx flipper looks correct as a wpc flipper, it's just a shade under 24 mm in height but i was wondering as the flippers from sorcerer were noticeably higher.
The problem is I can not find the height info on the older style flippers, the only height was listed at 24 mm yet every image I have clearly showed the height was larger. The fp stock flipper, which corresponds to the older version of williams flippers was a bit taller, and I don't think Lio would have made that mistake.
The base of the flipper is a 15mm diameter circle, sloping down to a 5mm diameter circle at the tip. Overall length is 71mm, so the distance between centers of the circles should be 61mm. The flipper is 24mm height. A standard flipper rubber is 4mm thick when stretched around the flipper paddle. That is a wpc flipper size according to the internet, but does anyone here know what the actual height of the earlier version williams flippers were? Is there a fizx version of those flippers in case it bugs me too much? It's not of any importance, was just getting real curious because I was going a little mad trying to figure it out till I finally thought of the height difference...
(In case you were wondering, the return lane top transparent plastics were close to the same height as the top of the flippers, and lower that the plastic height. I'm looking into this to make sure it's correct in how I am doing it)
