Estes Thor Agena Build Part 11 Vernier Shrouds


This is all four with the small ends facing you.

I've looked at a few pictures of the real vernier shrouds. It's hard to see the actual shape. This is the shape shown on the Estes instructions.




A small hole is made for the small vernier nozzle.

I drilled a small hole to start, being careful to center the drill.




To taper the hole in a conical bore, a sharpened dowel was spun in the drilled pilot hole.

Tapering the pilot hole will give a better fit of the small vernier nozzle.
