BT80 tubes seem to have lots of options. not so much for the BT70. Balsa machining has lots of balsa nose cones for the BT70, but I want plastic for its durability. Anyone have any recommendations?
The thing I hate the MOST about working with BT-80 is the lack of Nose Cones.
When they don't make what you want, then make it yourself. Simple.

BT-70 has always been an ODD size body tube.
To me, a BT 70 is perfect. It's bigger than a 60 and not as fat as an 80. Granted I'll use all size tubes available, with the exception of the BT 56. Wanna talk odd? You can barely tell it from a 55. That's one I really don't get.
I believe the only BT-70 nose cone Estes offers at the moment is in the Large TARC kit. This Cone and transition was part of the Titan IIIE rocket.
