Does anyone have a general rule of thumb on how far inside the rocket they generally go? Any size body tube so just generalize? Thanks!!
And don't let the folded paper/glue package dry before you install it in the body tube; it will stiffen up and be very difficult to make comply with the ID of the tube.
Do it all in one smooth step (if the instructions don't already tell you to do that).

Two more options: Cut off a section of BT and make a "baffle system." Before reattaching w/coupler, drop shock cord down through BT and put on your mount, allowing room for coupler. Now u don't have to contend with "wadding," or worrying if nosecone will go on. Other choice is not using it all! Attach shock cord, usually kevlar string, through a small hole in fin and epoxy down fillet. You may have to put a small notch in BT, to allow shock cord and nose cone to fit together.
