For sale is a 10.5" dia x 54.5" long conical nosecone. The 5:1 ratio matches the Black Brant II. It was made by ScotGlas Manufacturing for a full-scale flying replica of the UP Aerospace Spaceloft XL that launches from Spaceport America in NM. The cone is made to fit 10" nominal Sonotube. ScotGlas list price is $350. (See the end of this page for original pricing).
It has a smooth finish on the outside, without the gelcoat, which will make it easier to prime and paint. It's made from random fiberglass tow and polyester resin. The tip is reinforced with glass-epoxy. The cone weighs about 5 pounds.
I'd like to see someone build an interested project based on this cone. Please email me privately with a reasonable offer if you're interested. jsdemar at gmail dot com.
In the photo, there's an Estes D motor for size comparison.
