New Way Firecat 4 Build, Part 4, Nose Cone Taper Base


The nose cone base taper was different. You'd think the designer would simply flip over a pyramid shaped nose one.

The nose cone lower half is hollow, made up of four side pieces.


Here's the first two sides glued together, like two jigsaw puzzle pieces. 



You could use CA glue to tack the four sides but I used wood glue.

After all sides were in place, an internal fillet was applied using a Q-tip to smooth it out.

On the left I've just started sanding the top of the box flat. You can see the burnt laser edges are cut at an angle. This needs to be flat to better fit the bottom of the solid nose cone.
