Looking for Information On Estes #1279 Nike-Ajax
I am about to attempt a restoration of an Estes Nike-Ajax, kit #1279. It is missing its nose cone (BNC-20CB) and eRockets/Semroc doesn't stock it. As a starting point, does anyone have one of these that they could measure for me? I need the exposed length, i.e. from the shoulder forward. Even better, does anybody know of a vendor who sells these?

Yes! Thanks! That's bittersweet more bitter than sweet............I just made an order to eRockets! Darn! I don't know why I missed that cone?? OK, anyway, thanks again for your help. I'll pick one up on my next order. Joe |

Hmmm.............although the link supplied in this thread by Polaris1324 worked for me, when I Google eRockets and go to their site, then choose Semroc Parts, Balsa nose cones, BNC20..............the cone I'm looking for doesn't show in their product list! Which explains why I didn't find it before.
Strange! |

Unless Randy updated that Semroc nose cone, it doesn't have the right shape. I compared one to an original.

Attached is an image of what the original BNC-20CB cone should look like.

Mojo, I thought this thread was familiar.
You asked the same questions 2-3 years ago: http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/show...hlight=BNC-20CB In that thread I posted a picture of a semroc BNC-20CB and an original Estes BNC-20CB. I guess you forgot....
