non-standard nosecone time of the year

[wwattles]

Some may call it Lent, others springtime (autumn in the southern hemisphere), but here in the US, it's time for non-standard nosecones!

All you have to do is walk down the aisles of just about any variety store and you'll find plastic easter eggs of all sizes. Most of these can be converted into nosecones for non-standard tubes, and are usually nicely colored and very smooth.

Buy 'em now, or wait until after Easter and get them when they go on clearance sale!

I found a pack of plastic candy containers shaped like chicks (the fowl type). I've got one glued to the top of a chopped nosecone for a rocket I've dubbed "Chicks Love Speed". I have four others and am thinking of even more twisted ideas. Like a Der Red Chix or the like. I'll post some pics soon.
