Hello,
I could use a little guidance on building a pretty big nose cone. The cone is 50 cm long with a 10 cm long shoulder. The maximum diameter is 10.4 cm. We originally tried turning a plug out of MDF with the intention of using a fiberglass molding technique similar to that explained by John Coker (Here). However, the nose was just too big to turn and we lacked the appropriate tools to finish such a large part. At this point, we're stuck. Does anyone know a possibly better way to make a nose like this?
thanks
