I'm looking for a nose cone for a launch pad Sparrow AIM-7. the one that comes with it is doofy. probably something around 5" length would look good. know of any?

If there was any, they'd be using them in the kits...

You can always get one turned from Sandman (Gordon Agnello) or BMS (if he's still doing custom orders-- not sure of that) but it's going to cost you some big $$$...

The other alternative is rig up a power drill and a block of balsa or pink closed-cell foam and turn your own...

Later! OL JR :)

Not that big $$$... $15.00 plus shipping, includes a 1" hole for nose weight.View attachment sparrow nc fits bt 80.pdf
 
not bad at all as long as shipping isn't too much. going to have to order me one of these.
 
Maybe a nose cone from an estes V2 or Mega Mosquito? If not, I have a few pieces of balsa I can try to turn ya one. Just now learning to use a lathe and this will give me much needed practice. Unfortunately we got some bad winter weather headed our way and my shop is saw horses under a pine tree.

the cone that comes with the kit is the same as a mega mosquito, which is the wrong shape. the V2 and maxi alpha 3 nose fits but is too long cosmetically. if the build goes well I'll likely get one from sandman.
 
Sandman does great work. You cant beat his price.
