I have a scratch built the Estes Phoenix 1380, 90% completed. I am reading the instructions and do not see any requirements for nose weight. I know I am not using a stock nose cone, which may be heavier than the one I am using. So common sense says to use some nose weight. I also built the Estes - 1951 Executioner from the kit. I recieved it from the Secret Santa in July. Yeah and thanks whoever sent it. I digress. So it also has no nosecone weight. But it is substantially longer than the Phoenix. Can any one help me out. Thanks in advance. :confused2:
 
Haven't built the phoenix, but the Executioner flies great without any nose weight.
A quick look on EMRR says:

CP: 23.0900 inches from Front (Rocksim/Rocksim) for the phoenix.
 
The Phoenix as I recall came with some clay for the nose cone.
