How Do You Make A Model Rocket Nose Cone?
Model rocketry is a hobby that uses the same methods as those used in actual rockets to propel a scale-sized model high into the air. Most model rockets are little more than a tube with fins, containing a model rocket engine. To top these models and aid them in achieving smooth predictable flight, model builders add on a model rocket nose cone. Making your own nose cone for a model rocket can cut down on the costs of your hobby as well as allowing you to experiment with nontraditional rocket sizes. The process for building a nose cone to fit a 3/4 –inch rocket body only requires a few basic materials and an afternoon’s build time. Draw a line bisecting the center of the 5-inch edge of a 3×5 index card using a t-square and a pencil. This line represents the apex of the cone, the center point. Place a mark one-inch from the edge of the card at the bottom, along the 5-inch length. Use the straight edge of the T-square to draw a diagonal line from the one-inch mark to the top of the cente
