Picky, picky - My Mercury-Redstone lost an escape motor nozzle!

[Blast it Tom!]

... and I'd like another one. My first BAR launch and it flew twice, beautifully (posted before):

But somewhere a nozzle detached. Just one. I'm lucky, I know - I've seen some real heartbreaking crashes on this site... But short of carving it myself, is there any way to get a spare, from Estes, or a 3D print file (I have a buddy...) or something? I'm still kinda new at this. Much thanks and then this thread can sink into obscurity. Unless it should be in the Yard sale section...

Estes sells the whole capsule kit separately, EST#034125 - $7.99. Some of the online vendors, like eRockets or Jonrocket may have it for less...

That'd do it, thanks! Gee, that's worthy of a "Let me Google that for you" link. I guess it goes to show you that I think of TRF members first!

Not sure how you attached them in the first place, but if you didn't before, I would recommend using a fresh tube of plastic cement for your repair. It will "weld" the plastic together and never come apart.

That's just it- I've built plenty of static plastic models in my day and trust the good-ol' solvent cements. I scraped the paint, etc. and even added a backup dot to where the nozzle lays against the truss. Maybe it isn't supposed to touch there, I'd be almost positive it wouldn't in real life, but... strength! And yet, maybe somehow... who knows? But thanks!

Aaand it's out of stock at Estes, not offered at erockets, I'll have to check around...
