Thin wall 3" nose cone choices???
I was looking at Scratch building some nice size rockets, patriot, Phoenix, Lance Beta, Archer and Thor in thin wall light 3" tubing. (3"OD x 2.92" ID) for local fields. I like the price range for the parts and other choices such as motor options.
The only problem I see is nose cone choices, I can only find one choice, that being Mercury Engineering which will work for some of the above planed rockets. I also had planed on using the Estes Big Daddy, Lance Beta, Leviathan 3" nose cone but have found that it is no longer listed. I called Estes and they don't have any at this time and recommended me call every so often, some may or may not show up. I checked a lot of venders also, but to no avail. Of coarse I could use the M.E. Cone on all of the builds if I have to. Are there any other choices out there that I'm over looking besides buying Big Daddy's just for the cone? |

You can get Estes kits at deep discount so kit bash.

Balsa Machining has a plastic cone for that tubing that's similar to the Big Daddy cone - but a bit longer.

Thank you, it has the same specs as the Mercury engineering one, most likely the same one. I do plan on using that one, just wanted one shorter also for some of my build ideas.
