FlisKits Tartar Build Part 4, Nose Weight Install





The half ounce of clay weight was rolled into a cylinder to see how long the recess hole would have to be.
With the cylinder at 1//2" diameter it was about 2" tall.







Mark the center of the the flat shoulder end before any drilling.







A 3/16" diameter drill was taped off at 2" so I'd know when to stop.
Twist the drill between your fingers  up to the wrapped tape line.


A 1/2" diameter drill followed.
The sides of the hand drilled hole wasn't very clean but will work fine.


The clay was pressed in and a coat of white glue rubbed on over the top.

The screw eye was turned in the side of the nose cone.
Turn the screw eye so it won't bump into the inside wall of the body tube.
