Estes Thor Agena Build Part 12 Vernier Nozzles




The Vernier nozzles are small!
Small cones are made from 1" square pieces of copy paper.

I pre-rolled the squares with a small dowel.






To get the glue "tab" under the outside edge, a razor blade helps push it underneath and form a sharper tip.

Look close at the tip and you can see the sharpened dowel tip inside the paper cone.






In the picture at the right, the cone is set over a sharpened 1/4" diameter dowel.
Another clean dowel was rolled over the glued seam to set it and smooth over the edge.
