Default Estes PNC-60AH Nose Cone

I have been doing design work on the Estes PNC-60AH Nose Cone that is used in Der Red Max kit as well as several others that'll fit BT-60 tubing. I also have upscales to BT-80, 3.0 inch LOC/Precision, 4.0 inch LOC/Precision, and 5.38 inch LOC/Precision tubing.

I most likely will be publishing it to Thingiverse sometime this weekend.

So far I have found these Estes kits that use this specific nose cone. Please let me know if there are any corrections that need to be made to this list.

I did detailed geometry measurements on the Estes 60AH because I was modifying it for a special purpose, and I wanted the new parts to fit well. If you want to see my data I can email it to you. It is in an EXCEL file. Pop me a PM with your info.....

You don't have to do much research on which kits use various nose cones. Other than a very recent kit or two, the research has been compiled by John Brohm.

On a side note, the early Citation kits used an injection molded version, while later kits used the blow molded version we see today.
