Hello the up scale of the hi flyer is 6 x. Nc is 17.25 the 4.25 tube is 65 all in inches . The tube is from a carpet store ( get them for free) the nose cone is made from the tube as well. 4 in from.the bottom of the nc I start my triangles. Up to now the seams are filled on the air frame and the nc is filled and taped with note book paper and vinyl joint compound . They will dry and sand. Then I coat the outside of the nose cone with a mixture of wood glue and fine flour . Works great ,but you need to get it flat because it gets very hard and light . Next the center rings 1/4 ply for 38 mm . The whole thing should top out at about 4.5-5 lbs
