I think you guys did a great job on the nose cone and I was there when this rocket was launched. Awesome. I also make large nose cones but I use 1 1/2" straight dowel rod and seems to keep my nose together. Just a suggestion. You guys rock!
I would guess the all thread is just not stuff enough and experienced a good amount of bending moment. Especially since it was probably oscillating from side to side, so a fatigue crack of sorts. "Nose cone flutter" ;)
Nope, ... all you need todo is make the nose cone overlap the base of the nose cone to tie them together, ... and you can put the nose cone payload base in also if you want! 😱😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
And, ... as a side note you come across as if you guys don't have a clue what you are doing, ... I am juz sayin, ... it is fun watchin monkeys building rockets! 😱😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
Why didn't the fiberglass cone extend over the coupler? I mean, I'm not seeing adhesive on the coupler. It looks clean.
Great post flight analysis, thanks!

I thought about going to a similar sized dowel for the rebuild, but ended up going with a glassed phenolic tube in the center for the new nosecone!

You need to upgrade to stainless steel which has a stronger tensile strength
Perhaps it was not Grade 8 all thread ??
I think that would be an understatement lol
You didn't use DUCK TAPE man! 😱😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
All thread is structurally crap. The threads are a giant stress riser. And crappy material.
