Default Cutting/Trimming the Nosecone Collar

Photo shows the nosecone collar Part D, that slides onto the Rocket body/fuselage. It is slip on so that when the parachute charge does its thing, the nosecone hopefully will part and the parachute deploys....

Viola; the empressor made this photo as well. Note uncut nosecone part in upper left of photo. All 50-stars are on the nosecone/warhead section.

I usually cut all of the slants on one side for each tab, then a rotation of the nosecone to cut the other side, all the little scrap pieces then can be cleaned up at one time by sweeping into a trash can.
