Raisin' Maize Build Part 8 Nose Weight
The plywood ring was pulled from one of my Odd'l Rockets Sputnik kits. The diameter was sanded down to fit tight in the coupler. A small hole was drilled for the screw eye attachment.
The plywood disk was glued in place against the clay weight.
I picked out a large screw eye.
When in doubt with an odd-roc, add more nose weight.
I only screwed the eye in until the threads were just inside the plywood.
Going past the screw threads there wouldn't be anything to hold the eye in place. You only have the 1/8" thickness of the ply disk to hold the screw eye.
