ASP Ram B Build, Part 11, NC Touch-up, Clay Weight & Parachute


On the left is the nose cone mask, a little rough.

I've mentioned before how good the Ace Hardware Premium Enamel is. It also takes brush touch-ups very well.
I sprayed some light gray into a cup and touched up some small areas that got scraped off when removing some of the silver.

The picture on the right shows the smooth touchup.

The balsa adapter is glued into the upper BT-20 tube. The clay nose weight is pressed into the tube and against the top of the adapter.

You are given more clay than will fit with the nose cone slid in place. Remove enough to slide the entire nose cone shoulder in.




The large screw eye was set in the adapter base and the shock cord tied on using a Duncan Uni Knot.

A overhand loop was tied in the shock cord about three inches from the screw eye. 

The eight sided Mylar parachute was clipped onto the loop in the shock cord.
