Quest Aurora Build, Part 3, Nose Cone Lug Fix


The nose cone base was already glued into the nose cone shoulder.
(Probably done by whoever first opened the package.)
One problem, the U shaped tie down loop was cracked through!


I'll have to make another tie down point.
I used some old button and carpet thread. This is very strong thread the major vendors used years ago for shroud lines.

A hole was drilled using a rat tail diamond file.
The thread was looped through three times and tied off.



The line was fished out with long tweezers and tied off.
The square knot was pulled back inside the nose cone base.
