Minor Snag: Nose Cone Interference

A minor snag on Krystal, at least slightly anticipated. The pod nose cones interfere slightly with the booster main body tube. I thought this might happen: I probably should have just built a shim onto the pod in the design. I caught this flaw during test fit, before gluing the pods to the booster, so it’s easy to add the shim: cut a couple of thin strips of 1/32″ balsa (one for each pod), paint the edges flat black to match the pod. Shouldn’t be a big problem, just a minor delay.
