Default NCR Lance Beta questions please?

Does anyone know if the upper forward fins on the Estes NCR Lance beta is made out of balsa or basswood?

Also, noticed Estes is zero balance on Big Daddy nose cones, does anyone know were I can get these?

Thank you!

Not sure about the Lance Beta, but keep checking on the Big Daddy nose cone. Out of stock is often a temporary thing until order processing can get items from warehouse (which is in a different location) to their location.

If that doesn’t work out, BMS sells 3” nose cones and tubes (which match ID/OD specs of Estes).

Thank you!
Got the BMS cone, it's 11" and will work, just trying to keep to the original, but will do that if need be.

Thank you again!

The forward fins of the Lance Beta were plywood.
