I don't know if this qualifies as electronic or high power rocketry... but here goes:
On the nosecones with the aluminum tip, the tip comes off revealing a hollow point. I was thinking for trackers such as the Eggfinder, how feasible would it be to turn the nosecone tip into a mounting point for an antenna? So it basically means the antenna screws onto the tip of the nosecone, probably improving reception.
I'm only wondering aerodynamically would it be a disaster? I think the aluminum tip is there because if the rocket ever gets to Mach 2, the tip wouldn't melt. I'm just thinking that I doubt the antenna could survive Mach 2...
