A reviewer here says the Wizard fins are plastic but everything else I can find online says they're balsa. Does anyone know for sure?

The fins are wood. I'm not sure if they are balsa or some other type of wood. They have to be sanded a little bit(a very little) to reduce drag.

what kind of glue should be used and what kind of starters?

We use super glue gel. We've tried different glues and this seems to work best with our kids. It sets really fast. We start with the A8-3 engines and use the igniters that are included. We have also used the B6-4's and C engines. We warn the students that they might lose their rockets with the C. It goes so high and far. This is the type of igniters we use: https://www.amazon.com/Estes-Model-Rocket-Igniters-Pack/dp/B009EZS08G/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2NIG1QSDE16MH&keywords=estes+igniters+and+plugs&qid=1552954316&s=gateway&sprefix=estes+ign%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-2
