Replacing A Screw Eye In Balsa Part 2


After the glue has dried, cut off the toothpicks close to the base of the nose cone. A little sanding brought them down even with the flat surface.
You can see the small hole in the center where the screw eye will fit.



The toothpicks will give the screw eye a much stronger grip in the nose cone.
Here's the new, larger screw eye and washer weight ready for the next (hopefully) stable flight.
