Usually you would put the fins at the bottom of the body tube and evenly spaced around it. The rocket may be stable even though the fins were a little higher on the tube; it depends on the location of the Cg.

How do you test the stability of a model wooden rocket based on fin design?
Unless you have friends who own a wind tunnel, flying it is the only test.
Does the placement of the fin on a model rocket effit the flight time?
yes
What is the difference between a long rocket fin and a short rocket fin?
A longer fin has increased aerodynamic drag. The geometric relationship between the drag caused by the fins and the center of gravity of the rocket determine the stability of the rocket in flight. Less aerodynamic drag means the rocket can go higher or farther, but it also means the rocket is less stable in flight. This tradeoff has to be considered in the design of the rocket.
What are the best fin designs for stability of a model rocket please list in order?
Triangle.
What is the definition of fin on a rocket?
The definition of fin on a rocket would be, a thin, protruding piece of metal whose function is to provide aerodynamic stabilization when the rocket is in flight.

How far does a c6-5 model rocket engine go?
With a good design and light tube, it will go 4-5,000 feet.
