Is there any rule of thumb for a BT diameter to nose cone shoulder length ratio?
I have a 4" parabolic nose cone that has a 5.25" shoulder. I bought the nose cone from Madcow because I saw it there and it looked cool (and I saw Nytriders build thread the day after I saw the nose cone) don't have any real plans as of yet.
To me the shoulder seems excessively long. If anything I tend to see people chopping shoulders and attachment points and adding bulkheads into nose cones.
My PML 4" or 3.9" whatever nose cone shoulder is 2.25".
If it makes any difference the Madcow/Rocketry Warehouse NC is hand laid fiberglass.
