Y’all ever fall victim to the impulse buy? Well this guy did this past weekend. As out launch was wrapping up I was chatting with Ken from Performance Hobbies and as I was he unboxed something that, well, I wasn’t leaving without.
Now to be clear, I wasn’t in the market for anything, but have known Ken for a LONG time and he knows my style.
That said I am now the owner of a 7-1 filament wound fiberglass nose cone.
This is sold as a 7-1 but at a tick over 31” it’s really 7.5-1, and DAMN NICE!!!
To go with this he also had a killer 54mm 3 grain case
Not 100% sure what these will turn into, but I am thinking something sleek and ultra light weight. Lots of carbon, aluminum all thread in the AV bay… Time will tell, but some hard hitting propellant of 1100NS or so in that case combined with a full up weight of 6 pounds or so would be a great flight at BattlePark!
