:lol: Awesome! Does it make the black powder smell nice?
You stole my idea! I thought of it over a year ago just ask Jim Flis!:roll:
Looks Great!
I'm J-E-A!
You could make a window on it with a couple of Coneheads looking out.
Jeff, what is the nose cone and tail cone made of?
It'll get pretty sooty on the inside, mostly from liftoff, but so long as the motor nozzle isn't recessed real far into the paper nozzle it should be okay.I turned the nose cone on my lathe from a piece of balsa. The engine nozzle I laid out in open rocket and printed on a piece of card stock then coated it in titebond before painting it. I'll be interested to how the nozzle holds up to a launch.

Haha! Your right, I did get the idea to use the Renuzit from your post in the, "You might be a rocket geek", thread. But where you saw a nose cone I saw an airframe. I believe fyrwrx mentioned using one for a tail cone, I'm totally stealing that idea too on a future build.
Thanks for the idea!
