I put together a BT80 (Heavy Tube) Blue Bird Zero. I stuck a nose cone from my stock on it. It is the BMS BNC80KH $13.30 Long Ogive - blunt tip (fits T80H)8.25 inches long. This is not the correct upscale. I have the body tube a little long to compensate at the moment.
I could get the correct one: Semroc BNC-80AO Ogive 9.9" 1.34 oz $15.75 but it is for a normal BT80 tube so it would fit but there would be a mismatch between the nose cone and the body tube.
To do it right, I would need to have a cone made for me. What are your thoughts? How does it look so far?
I did fly it naked over the weekend on an AT G71-7 Redline and it had a great flight. Probably 6 people asked me what it was (not sure that was due to the nose cone though).
