The outside diameter is 2.005". The lower section is 24" long and upper section is 8" long. Not sure what you mean by the nose cone size. GregTwo quick questions: What is the body tube size of the Ascender? What is the nose cone size of the Ascender? Thank you!
Sorry, should´ve been more descriptive. I have an Ascender and it flew wonderfully two days ago on an E and then an F engine right until it got to about 2000AGL and then it blasted my nose cone to kingdom come. Heard a loud "pop" from 2000ft away. The masking tape and leather strap both failed holding that thing in place when the ejection charge hit. The rest of the rocket returned gracefully under the parachute but that nose cone is gone. So I need a new one and I was trying to find the accurate replacement.
Thank you!
Below is a clip from the Ascender's instructions, with the Estes part number for the nose cone. You might try contacting Estes to get a replacement.

I did have a similar incident with my Ascender where at apogee the plastic strap that secured the recovery strap on the coupler gave way (it was the second or third flight). It was only by the grace of God that I found the upper tube and nose cone.

Estes has a 2 inch nose cone listed, described as used with the Argent. The pictures look close enough to the Ascender.

Sounds like a shotgun ejection got you. Now would you mind explaining the leather strap ?
