Space X Falcon Build Part 7 Nose Shroud Line

If the kit has one "gotcha" this is it.

You are directed to tie a knot in the thin white cord. The knot is supposed to hold this line inside the nose cone behind the hole near the top.
The hole is way too big for a shroud line knot. You could double or even triple the knot and it will still slip through the hole!

I made a "block" out of thick cardboard and tied the string through and around the block.




Here's how the block was epoxied into the nose cone later in Step 10.
