Most model rockets have a nose cone that is either a solid block of balsa wood, or a hollow plastic shell. Some rockets require that a small amount of weight be added to the front end of the rocket to make it fly in a stable (straight) manner. In these rockets, nose weight is often added inside of hollow nose cones - common material for weight is a small blob of modelling clay or a solid blob of glue. When nose weight needs to be added to a rocket with a solid balsa nose cone, it is common to add a small metal washer to the bottom end of the nose cone (which will end up inside the body tube when the rocket is assembled.) The amount of nose weight needed in the size rockets commonly sold in hobby stores is usually between 0 and 20 grams.
