Gluing Nosecone Parts

Ok, time to glue the nosecone and collar. After gluing them, they will be attached to each other in the following photos...

1st photo shows glue applied at the very tip of the nosecone, and pinching it flat. After the first flight this pinched flat nosecone technique won't even be noticed....
