Default 3" PNC

I actually thought that finding a loose 3" PNC would be easy. I am wrong. Is there a source for the 3" PNC that's included in the Big Daddy kit without having to raid a Big Daddy kit?

Thanks!

That nose cone went OOP last January, followed by the 4" DBRM nose cone.

BMS used to have a 3" 3:1 ogive PNC - but I just checked and they don't have it now.

You might try Estes from time to time - I've seen it there under the PSII accessories, though it wasn't there this morning.

I checked BMS late last night. I was surprised to see the 3” plastic nose cone gone. They still carry the 3” tube and couplers (including 34” full length couplers). They also used to have a big “School Rocket” using the 3” parts.

Wasn't Jeffy asking about the 3" Estes nose cone, not just any old nose cone?

The BMS 3” tubing is identical in specs to the Estes 3”. The BMS 3” nose cone therefore would fit Estes tubing, but I do believe it was slightly longer.

Moot point now, but that prompted me to see if BMS still carried it.

Apogee still has a cone for thin-wall 3-inch tubing.
