Ya know, the Omega nosecone (PNC-60AH?) might make a decent cone for this upscale. And, for purists, you can always cadge up a paper or cardstock cone to make the end more pointy (ala TLP kits).

Probably, but Carl can cut a balsa cone that matches it correctly, and it would be the same cone for a CC-Express upscale as well...

I might try the AH to see what the differences would be, flight-wise.
