260 Space Booster Build Part 11 Nose Cone Shaping

The nose cone is made from a TA-550 balsa adapter.

The upper shoulder is sanded away and rounded.
First the shoulder is reduced by matching the angle of the sanding block to the side angle of the balsa adapter.





While you could cut out and use the template, I did most of the shaping by eye. I continued to sand until the upper shoulder was nearly gone.
While sanding, be careful not to sand down the lower shoulder.





Here's what the nose cone shape will look like when the upper shoulder is removed. As it is now, the nose cone is too tall to match the template.
