I have one of those cones!
I came on a (stupid!) Estes Ranger I got at a garage sale. Now I know what to do with it.

One of my favorites. I would like to get one of those nose cones for a clone but since I haven't found one yet, I built a Goony version; Nepgoon.

Funny, I was just looking at this one on JimZ's plan page last night!
First though was how similar it looked to an Exocet. I like it. Will be following along. |

I note that eRockets/Semroc has a balsa version in stock - BNC-55EX "Fat ogive". I have one of the stupid Estes Rangers that Gordon refers to, and I list this cone in my plastic cone collection. It was painted an ugly grey color (before I sanded most of the paint off), and I wondered what other kits used it.
Looking forward to the build thread! If the style appeals, I may have to add this rocket to my build list - it'll use up that plastic cone
