Estes Mini Arcas, #2441, Part 2, Tail Cone

Any rocket kit that has a tail cone only includes one cardstock shroud. If you've ever formed a cardstock shroud, you know the fit might be iffy. 

I won't be taking any chances with a single shroud.
I drew a 1" reference line above the printed kit shroud. The tail cone was scanned, the 1"reference span was double checked in Corel Draw. The shrouds were printed on 110 lb. cardstock.

Will I really need eight tail cones? No.
But, I can make a few and use the best fitting shroud.
