List of Body Tubes and Nose Cones by Kit

[Jeff Curtis]

I've seen a site that listed kits and what body tubes they used. I don't recall if they also listed nose cones. Anyone have the URL for this list. In particular, I am looking for the nose cone used for the Calypso. All the instructions show is it was 4.1 inches long.

Thanks, but I'm not seeing the list.

I know the cone you are talking about. Comes in the 3162 5 cone assortment pack. This is the cone:


I don't believe I've ever seen it listed for individual sale.

PS: There were two different styles of base. I think the older style looks more like the one in the Calypso instructions, but the more recent packs of nose cones have the more modern base. Both have the same exposed cone profile. I once bought two bags of the assortment cones, and one was older with the base as shown in the instructions, the other was clearly years newer stock and contained the cone pictured above.

The nose cone in the picture looks to be the PNC-50YR on Mr. Brohm's list. It's been used on LOTS of models.

Thanks everyone.

These are good references. Does anyone think that a building referfence with links would be helpful?
