nose cone

This may seem like a simple question… but this is my first high power fiberglass kit with a metal nose cone tip. It’s a wildman punisher 3inch. How can I tighten the screw eye bolt in the nose cone and the nut below it once inside? lol. I’ve literally been thinking about this for a day and have...

Hello everyone, I am thinking of a rocket design but I am stuck at one point, I want to use a metal tip on the nose cone but I do not know how to add it to the nose cone and I am also thinking of using a bulkhead that will be connected to the parachute with an eyebolt inside the nose cone, will...

Hello, just had a question about the plastic eyelet-type things that come on plastic nose cones. Would you recommend using those? They seem a bit flimsy. Could I slather it in epoxy to reinforce it, and attach my shock cord to there? If not, how would you go about attaching shock cords to your...

So I have a Featherwight GPS and I'm wanting to mount it to a Darkstar Jr.. Issue being that I've already Epoxied the nose cone bulkhead in place and I don't have the parts to do any modifications to the nose cone between now and the next month or so because I am transitioning between jobs but I...

So I'm making a rocket which apogee's is 6233.60 ft, max velocity is 213 m/s and max acceleration is 72.5 m/s^2. So problem is my nose cone doesn't fit so well in body tube. I can feel the ledge when I touch between nose cone and body tube and the ledge is nearly 1mm. Is it a big problem?

Flying Saturday at our club launch, and I sent my Centuri Groove Tube (built circa 1975) up for it's 60-ish flight. This time on a Quest A3-6 composite motor. We had a good wind, and a lot of rockets were weather-cocking. It got off the bad well, but almost immediately pitched hard into the...

Hello! Since paper towels and toilet paper appear to be quite desirable these days, I couldn't just throw the empty tubes away. LOL! I found a good Coronavirus model on Thingiverse and made it into a fitting nose cone in Fusion 360. The virus obviously needs supports, but PrusaSlicer also...

Hi, I want to deploy both nose cone and payload together at apogee in openrocket. I couldn't even figure it out how to deploy payload. There is a parachute in the nose cone section but when I open it, the mass of the rocket doesn't change, so the payload stays in the rocket. Is openrocket able...

Anyone out there 3D printing/selling nosecones for BT-60 tubing? Specially interested in Ogive 5:1 or Von Karman profiles.

I am trying to find options for a 29mm nose cone. I've made a rocket using Public Missile 29mm motor tube and now need to find a nose cone. I thought it would be easy, but it's not proving to be. So far, I have only found one at Apogee. It's not bad - it's the one that sits atop the apogee...
