Is That A PNC50SP???!!!
I don't have the kit yet, but on the new Estes Octavius is that the (elusive and highly desirable) PNC50SP?------or is it the sorta similar one that was used on the Screamin' Eagle?

It has the same part number as the Screaming Eagle which is 61299, identified in the S.E. as PNC-50E. And it looks like the SE cone

Having owned and made a few of the PNC-50SP cones in different scales, I can say positively the nose cone in the picture does NOT look like a PNC-50SP to me.
The PNC-50SP main body has a conical shape, the same as the K-50 Interceptor but smaller. The Octavius nose cone looks to me like an ogive shape.

If you're interested, Meatball Rocketry has 3D printed PNC-50SP's available. A little pricey (in my CAD $'s) maybe. http://meatballrocketry.com/classic-nose-cones-2/ |

Here is picture of Octavius nose cone from the Estes website, and a Screaming Eagle nose cone from its instructions. They do look the same.

I have been trying to render a 3D file for the Estes PNC-50SP. The attached .stl file is what I have so far. I can't figure out how to chamfer the edges around the canopy. Any suggestions?
