'big bertha' - like nose cone

**english_1969** · 22nd February 2011, 02:23 PM

Hi,

Any recommendation on where to get a 'big-bertha' style nose cone for a 3.9in (98mm) airframe?

I've looked around and haven't been able to find one.

It may also help if I knew the technical name of this nose cone shape.

Thanks,
W

Performance rocketry has an "Eliptical" geometry cone that is very nice, and can be ordered through Wildman hobbies if you choose. I bought my cone for my 4" Baby Bertha from Tim. But be warned, it took a loooooong time to get it. I don't know why, but the time was measured in months. Great cone, though.

Would you be interested in a 5 inch NC?

Ordered the performance rocketry one from the rocketry warehouse

Thanks for the direction and the proper name - I really should have know that, but the name was escaping me....one of these days.
