I am looking for a original Rigel 3 nose cone that I can use as a master to create additional copies - anyone willing to lend me an original for a few weeks?

Just in case you were curious - I did here from Estes today and these were never sold as kits only free plans..


By the way Chrisudy - Impressive :clap: - I love the paint scheme.

My kids and I may try today. Current forecasted temp at 1:00PM is 4 deg F with a wind chill of -7 deg F:y:. I think my personal best prior to that is 7 deg.

Thanks for the response and advice.

Has anyone ever piston launched composite motors? I have heard this is not possible? Any advise would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
