Thanks much Tim. I was going to hold back on my build until your new 4" cone was ready. It just makes no sense, the shipping costs to send it both ways is more then the cone is worth.
OK guys I have seen enough .
CTI has handled this poorly from the start and it has just gotten worse .
If they have not taken care of you to your satisfaction please return your cone to us and when our new 4" filament wound cones are done hopefully later this month Wildman's will replace the CTI cone with a Wildman Filament wound cone when they arrive. And We will deal With CTI'
Received my two nosecones back over the weekend. Looks like they sanded or ground-out the inside of the cones to make them round. I'll take a picture when I'm back home, but it definitely was machined somehow - very clean and precise. The cones' shoulders fit nicely on the fiberglass couplers now. The re-shaping did create a small difference in the shoulder thickness: non-ground part is about 1.55mm thick and the ground parts vary from 1.4 - 1.45mm. Not a big difference and I'll assume that's all within spec still.
:wink:I am just going to give mine away. I picked up one of WMs FWFG 4" cones at the last launch. You can get them in red or black.
:wink:
So the fix was apparently to sand/grind down the inside of the nosecone. Thanks for the info and pic!
FWIW - I'll likely just take care of this myself...should be less time and effort than to send it back and mine don't seem too bad...I'll just be very careful not to sand down too much and will likely sand the coupler at the same time and test fit as I go.
