Estes Strike Fighter

One of my Quark buddies is trying to build one of these using a nose cone he turned. Anyone have the tube dimensions and any other pertinent data? The instruction sheet at JimZ's is pretty weak. That wasn't a great time for Estes bothering to give information on the instructions.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jackpot!

I found a Strikefighter nose cone today for only $4.13 at a local hobby shop. Guess I'll be building this clone sooner rather than later. I never expected to find one just hangning on a rack. Too cool!

Later,
