ASP Micro Sandia Sandhawk Build, Part 5, Nose Cone & Coupler




There are some small nubs in the shoulder base left from the 3D print process. Sand them off with a block.

The nose cone is glued into the shorter upper tube with Fabri-Tac.





The longer coupler gets a small hole "drilled" into the top.
After spinning a blade tip, the hole was rounded out using the tapered end of a mechanical pencil.

The inset picture shows the Kevlar line tied through the hole. 


The coupler is glued all the way into the upper tube. The upper end of the coupler butts up against the shoulder of the nose cone.

The coupler that sticks out the back is the shoulder that joins the two tubes.


The nose cone joint seam got a CWF fill.


After sanding down the CWF, the body got a shot of filler/primer and sanding.
