North Coast Rocketry by Estes BIG BRUTE

[Arakid01]

Would anyone here happen to have a fin template for this rocket kicking around? If not could someone please trace/scan a fin for me with a rule for dimensions? Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much!

Here ya go. They look to be made from 1/8" plywood.

What's the best clone nose cone for this? I've always wanted one of these but never seen one for sale so I figure I'm gonna have to clone it.

An Ace 4 inch nose cone. They are OOP, but sometimes show up on ebay.

A LOC 4" short nose might work. The description on the box says 3:1 ogive which the short LOC nose is.

that didn't take long or you to get your answers.

The original was the ACE 4" bleach bottle nose; I did my TRA confirmation high power in 1989 with that rocket and an H70 Aerotech motor

Dang. I'll keep an eye out. This and the Maxi Force are the two rockets from around that time I don't have that I still want, and I figure I'm gonna have to clone 'em both.

Definately plywood fins. Chances are I cut them when I worked at NCR in SLC 1993-1994. I wore a pair of bell bottomed blue jeans to help keep the sawdust out of my shoes. Good times before CNC and laser utters.
