TIP: Champagne Flute Nose Cones Part 2

It's the fourth of February, you have ten days to pick up some of these from the Dollar Tree store before they remove them from the shelves on Valentines Day!

These nose cones are made from clear, red plastic champagne glasses. At $1.00 for two, these are big nose cones for $.50 each!

Now that I have two different 2" diameter body tubes to check the size, I found the Quest 50mm Body Tube to be a near perfect fit!
This nose cone shoulder is only slightly wider than the body tube.

Here's the Quest specs:
T502400 - 50mm diameter rocket body tube
50mm diameter rocket body tube, white outer wrap, 24 inches long.
SPECS: 1.92" ID x 1.97" OD x 24.0"

I just received a few ST-20 body tubes from Semroc to test fit with this nose cone.
Trust me, the diameter was too big!
The Semroc tube was: SPECS: 2.00" ID x 2.040" OD x 18.0"

Tomorrow's blog will show how to make the coupler and how to build up the shoulder to the proper inside diameter.
