Cool - thanks guys!
For the nosecone of this rocket, I'll be using the tried-and-true Vern Knowles-style system. (My standard for ALL nosecones.)
Here we have all of the hardware I'll be using on the nosecone - 1/4" eyebolt with nuts/washers, 2.5" #10-24 machine screws, 1/2" #10-24 machine screws, and some #10-24 hex couplers.
I know, I know, 4 x 2.5" long screws is way overkill for a 54mm nosecone. But this is the exact same method I always use, so why re-invent the wheel...
Bulkhead inserted into place. As you can see, doing the nosecone anchors BEFORE you glue the coupler in makes it a lot easier since you can access both sides.
First, we tack them in place using hobby epoxy.
And ready for the next step!
