The pig nose is a short length of 3/16" diameter launch lug.
The length is 5/32".
For the front end flat plug, I tapered a piece of dowel so it "wedge fitted" into one end.
It was glued in and allowed to dry.

It was glued in and allowed to dry.
After drying, the dowel was cut off a little longer than the lug length. That was sanded flush with the front end of the lug.
A drop of CA gel was set on some cardstock and spread out into a small pool.
The nose was dipped in the CA and set on the plastic nose cone.
You may have to do some adjusting to get it centered before the glue sets up.
Hi Chris!:
ReplyDeleteIs the nose cone from the set of BT-5 cones that estes sells?
Sincerely

Hi JW,
DeleteYes, it is the original Mosquito style nose cone, the same one found in the NC-5 nose cone package.
