Estes Reflector Build, Part 3, Payload Section Fix

WOW! The face card advertises - 

HUGE Payload Section!
Maybe not . . . 





Set the nose cone and adapter beside the BT-55 section of tubing and you can see how small the payload capacity is.










The shoulders on the nose cone and adapter are about 1" long, longer than needed.

They were marked for cutting to about 3/4" length.





I used a razor saw to remove the excess.

The saw chipped the edges a bit. It's okay, the corners will be rounded off later.
