I'm back!
Three years ago when I got my Jet lathe, I turned a tailcone for a 3" Bullpup that I really didn't plan on building. I only turned it because I had a short piece of basswood left over, and thought it would be simple and fun. It was, and I successfully turned it. Fast forward three years, and my Secret Santa gift at work was an Estes Bullpup 12D kit. That got me thinking about the tailcone, and I dug it out. I thought about a 3" upscale for several days, and even played around with the Open Rocket file I had made then. I rooted around and found a length of LOC 3.1" tubing, along with a 29mm motor tube. I thought about ordering a LOC nose cone, but then I found a 16" piece of basswood I had. So to make a long story short, I decided to go for it.
