Trying to put a parts order together.
An upcoming build requires a 3.1", BT60 ogive nose (1.9:1). Well, the actual profile looks like it might not be quite ogive, but that should be a good enough approximation. It's what I used in my OR model:
So... the closest I can find is that erockets has a 3.1" "Rounded Ogive". Here's the website picture, but I'm not convinced it's very accurate.
I've emailed Randy to ask if he has a photo or accurate drawing of that part, but I don't know when or if he'll have the time to respond. Does anyone know what that nose cone actually looks like? I don't believe that "rounded ogive" is a precise technical term, so it leaves quite a bit of wiggle room for the actual shape. I don't even know what to put into OR to approximate it so I can see what it'd look like.
I'm having a hard time deciding whether to compromise on the shape, or get one custom turned by Roachwerks, or 3D-print one (I worry about finishing with 3D-printed parts.
