Lead Nose Weights
I had some clear tubing for BT-20, so thought that I would clone an Estes Apogee II. Have all the parts except for the two NW-1 lead Nose Weights. I can use washers, but was curious if anyone had found ways to duplicate them. Thanks
Chas

Chas,
No need to duplicate when you can use originals. Do you just need two? These have been waiting for a rocket a LONG time! I can sense their happiness. Text me your address. Steve |

Wow, I have had three offers to send the weights. I appreciate the responses. Thought that these would be rare. I have a few collectable Estes carded parts as well as Centuri and MPC.
Thanks folks. Chas

Happy to hear you found the weights you needed, Chas. Here's a question for all. I thought that Carl was making replica NCW-1's for awhile. Am I correct or was it a dream?

Scott, I seem to recall that Carl offered lead weights through SEMROC. I checked eRockets.biz first thing, but they have washers and clay.

I believe you are correct.I'm not sure that they were actually lead but they were the appropriate diameter and weight https://modelrocketbuilding.blogspo...rt-1-parts.html Found this.

I thought that they were a Semroc part, too. But no luck checking on eRockets website. I checked a number of other vendors, but could not find any. If you just want to add weight, and perhaps aren’t concerned with adding the lead weights to faithfully clone an oldie, I like to drill several holes in the balsa nose cone, drilling into base, at a slight angle, toward the tip. I then fill with BBs and plug with glue or epoxy.

tdracer,
Would this happen to be the device you used to make payload weights back in the day? This was built by Bill Roe of Colorado Springs, and was on display at the 60th Old Rocketeer Reunion in August 2018 at Pueblo.
