Easy enough to do with existing Estes plastic nose cones if you like: Front nose cone is PNC-60NA (Stormcaster) Tail cone for front section is PNC-60AH (Der Red Max) Front cone for aft section is PNC-60L (Big Bertha) Front cone for pods are PNC-50K (Alpha) Tail cones for pods are PNC-50Y (Nova Payloader) Balsa versions of all the above are also available. If I can find it, I did a fin template at one point - I'll need to look for the file if there is interest.

Sure - the files I have are all in Adobe Illustrator format right now, so I'll have to convert them to pdf when I get hope from work this evening.

I've got all the parts to build a 2.3X upscale. Years ago I bought some 2.3" heavywall tubing on clearance from NCR. No parts were available like nose cones or centering rings since the tubes were mis-sized. But they were $1 each, cheap! I bought some cones from BMS when they did custom work, and I turned a few. (The upscale of the BNC-50J had to be done by me, the BMS one didn't look right. I also did the rounded cones for the top of the three tubes. I still need to cut fins and centering rings -- I think I forgot to have BMS make those. The toughest part was upscaling the three BT-5 tubes. I used 29mm MMT but had to splice for length (> 40"). I think I'll reinforce on the inside of tube with carbon fiber arrow shaft to make them rigid. I'll pull it out of storage a take a few pictures. As I recall, it will be over 7 feet tall.

Over 7' sounds about right, my 2x Tri-Ceptor(interceptor themed trident) upscale used 2" tubing and foil lined bms 24mm for the side tubes and is about 6' tall...

Here are the two files - one is the "Super Trident" plans and fin template. The second is the fin template from the original Trident. I added 1" squares to both. Enjoy!

Frank, I think I saw that amongst your various posts about your RC rocket gliders. Very attractive. I may have to get a Trajector kit or two to bash into something similar. And I really need to finish the upscaled OT.
