Hi to all of you out there.

I have gotten a set of plans of the Titan3E from JimZ

I also found a listing of what body tubes was used in that plan but i do not remember where i saw it at if anyone also may know where that is i would love to find that web site again!

The lisitng as i copied show the Titan 3E as follows just the body tubes:

Bt-70 - 6.25"Long
Bt-60 - 13.313" Long
Bt-60 - 10.375" Long (2)
Bt-50J - 2.75" Long
Bt-50S - 4.00" Long (2)
Bt-5 - 3.74" Long (2)
Bt - 950 - 6.25" Long (2) ?????

I have narrowed down the BT-950 Semroc has it as something else(st-9180) and the ID and OD are the same so i shal see how this goes.

I have not ordered any of the tubes till i was done doing my research and if there is anyone who knows which is the right or wrong ones for this build i would love to hear from you. I am using the Titan 3E Kit #2019 for my reference from JimZ plans they are a tiff set of plans not a PDF file so im hoping for a close realization for shroud and fins marking guides and for fins drawings to make my parts.
I know i can never get the display parts made from plastic so that part is out but the toughest part right now is finding the:

payload nose cone and adapter
booster nose cones and nozzles
Catalyst tank nose cones and tail cones

I have some guesses on what i can use as replacments for them but these are just guesses for now. if anyone has built this from scratch i am open to ideas. It is a shame that Estes did not continue to list parts as time went on for future reference for us rebuilders!

Once i have the Body tubes in hand then i will have to order the die cut centering rings!

Well Thank You for letting me place this out there and i hope you all have a Happy New Year

Mike

Not sure what web site you misplaced. So here's some of the important ones.

JimZ's main site

http://www.spacemodeling.org/JimZ/index.htm

JimZ's Titan II E

http://www.spacemodeling.org/JimZ/est2019.htm

Ninfinger's for tube sizes

http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/body_tubes.html

SEMROC for tubes

http://www.semroc.com/Store/Scripts/default.asp

And way down below in my signature is me for decals.

I also have all of the plastic parts including the engine nozzles so I can duplicate them.

Now there are 8 plastic parts not including the two main engine bells so that is a lot of parts, they're not very big but there are a lot of them and a lot of work so they won't be cheap.

But I can do it.

You can get the payload nosecone and transition direct from Estes as part of the TARC large parts assortment. You will also get enough BT-70, BT-60 and BT-50 in that pack to make a Titan IIIE.

All for $25.

That's a deal.

Get that!

OK, just to throw a monkey wrench into things...I also make (and have in stock) a different nose cone for the Titan III.

If you want to build both, just get more parts.

Guess you dont want me to ever finish my Titan IIIE do you?

Ok what does that neat nose cone run?

And i found that listing for the body tubes for the kits i want to build!

It is the Estes Body Tube / Kit Reference Dated February 21.2008
By John Brohm Revision 3.1

The X-20 nose cone is on my web site in the Roachwerks Custom Machining kits section. It includes decals.

If you want to work up a display engine for the Titan get in touch with Real Space models and see if Glenn is willing to part with a set of bells and thrust structure from the 1/72 Titan. He may also have the skirt up his sleeve.
