Just wanted to do a poll to find out what people think about balsa vs plastic nosecones. Personally I like my nosecones to be plastic. Why? Balsa nosecones are so prone to damage. they get dented, smiley faced, crushed, and sometimes they are more difficult to finish (depending on what the quality of wood was used)
Plastic nosecones on the other hand stand up better to the abuse. Besides paint being chipped off, they can take anything. I have a box full of plastic nosecones from rockets that long since went to the rocket graveyard.
Somethings plastic is better than balsa, and balsa better than plastic. Ie: Fins.
