Rocket Fin does not Rotate Correctly after enabling 3D Cursor and Duplicating

Question

Hello!

I am following along on the lessons for the rocket fin. I enabled 3D cursor, duplicated my fin, and then tried to rotate it into place, but it opens towards the back. See here: https://gyazo.com/6f0026cf60d284b2e4cdbcda361e92af

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Looks like you accidentally moved your 3D cursor out of the center! To set it back to the world origin, press Shift + S in the 3D Viewport, and select "Cursor to World Origin" from the pie menu that pops up.

Grant,

Hot dog! That was it...something super simple, but I just didn't catch that when you did it.

Thanks!

I had to do Rotate -Z -72 - and then it went around the rocket. Not sure why I had to do it different, but it worked.
