You'll need a hollow plastic nose cone for this build. Almost 1/2 oz. of clay nose weight will need to be added. That's a lot of washers to be screwed on if you were to use a balsa cone. Looking at the Centuri instructions, their plastic nose cone is almost filled to the end of the shoulder with clay.
Glue in the shoulder and cut off the base with a razor saw.
Sand the shoulder smooth.
The instructions show a different way to attach the shock cord to the nose cone. Knots or a loop is tied in the end of the elastic.
This is pushed forward in the top of the hollow cone.
The clay is pressed in over the shock cord locking the elastic into place.
One inch down from the base of the nose cone a loop was tied.
A new Mylar balloon parachute with a sanp swivel was joined to the shock cord loop.
