Default Question to John Boren (JumpJet)

I have a question for John. I am working on the Cosmic Interceptor and have built an Interceptor-E.
My question to john is, Do you have more designs in the works that use this size tube and the great E size nose cone?
I for one hope so. Thanks .

Sorry, but I just saw this question now. NO there are no current plans to use this cone on other designs at the moment.

OK how about a similar style kit with any nose cone?

John, I've noticed that in some of your rockets you have used your talent in air plane building to incorperate, what I call, frame work. Such as the Asteroid Hunter.
Can we expect more designs using these same skills?
I hope so. I really like the complex builds. You have a great talent.

Thanks John for getting back to me on my question. Sorry to hear nothing in the pipeline using this cone. I guess I'll have to wait for the Intercepter-E to be rereleased again.

There are built-up designs that modern laser cutting makes possible that airplane makers have been doing for decades with stringers and whatever the other thing is called.

When...If...I ever have enough money, a small laser or cnc router machine I shall have.
And...a pen turning lathe. Wish I had never sold mine now.

They--the "across-the-fuselage" bulkheads in balsa-and-tissue (and in "planked-balsa") model airplanes, model sailplanes, and (in the few that have been built) model zeppelins--are called formers; the formers and the nose-to-tail stringers comprise the framework. In many (most?) "planked-balsa" models, balsa skin strips are used instead of stringers, as in a wooden boat hull, and the skin strips (together with the formers) create a semi-monocoque structure, which would lend itself to laser-cutting for such rocket nose cones.
