Replacing A Screw Eye In Balsa Part 1

After two unstable B6-4 flights on my Groove Tube, I knew I had to add some nose weight.

But, the old screw eye was glued in place into the bottom of a balsa nose cone.

Here's the base of the cone after pulling out the old, smaller screw eye.

The hole is still too big for the larger eye and weight.

After squirting in some white glue, I pushed three toothpicks into the old hole. Try to keep the toothpicks sticking straight out of the hole.

Let the glue dry before cutting them off.
