Blog readers might remember a post about a badly produced 3D nose cone:
That smaller nose cone is pictured on the left. It wasn't sized to a BT-50 and had a rough ridged surface.
On the right is the correct size 3D nose cone sent to me by James G. (Augendoc on the forums)
This is a well produced nose cone! Smooth (fine ridges, easily smoothed) with a perfect fit in a BT-50.
The rocketry community can be very helpful. Thanks James!
The nose tip did need minor shaping, easily cleaned up with a sanding block.
Here's the two different shoulder bases.
One has a hole for a screw eye, the other a horizontal bar to tie off a shock cord.
I'll be using the base with the screw eye, it seems stronger.
Is James up for selling that nose to others? Deb's wanted to clone the Aries SST and that's the needed nose cone.
ReplyDeleteHi Rob,
DeleteYou'd have to contact James and ask him. You can message him through The Rocketry Forum. James made two nose cones for me - I also plan to build an Aries SST on my blog.
