Whew, Time to Glue Nose Cone Collar to the Nosecone Assembly
This step is easy compared to the other cone connections.
Same procedure as the cones, except super easy to reach inside to pinch. Once glue seam is straight aligned with the Nosecone line, you can do the tick marks like before. Once all tabs have been glued, you will need to glue around the top inside of the collar to add the plug. The plug stops the parachute ejection charge from going inside the nosecone assembly.
photo shows correct location of plug inside Nosecone assembly. Notice I used a rubber abnd outside to create pressure so that the plug stays put. Thinking it would be great to use two rubber bands is not a good idea.
Notice how the collar/nosecone connection the final photos in a future post was damaged? Two rubber bands did not work so well, one would have been perfect.
1st photo has single rubber band doubled up, second photo has two rubber bands doubled up. Bad idea! Crushed the connection...
