I'm currently building a Ventris as my first MPR, and upon browsing youtube videos, I noticed one from a few years ago that appears to show the nose section coming loose during deceleration.
It appears to fall loose, making the rocket wiggle a bit just before apogee. It's at about 21 seconds into the vid. I had to watch it several times to be sure.

On my Ventris, if I shake the body tube a bit, the transition really wiggles. There's no friction, I can actually see the gap, maybe half milimeter on both sides.
My question is this: What would you recommend to tighten this up?
