Rick moved to Tuscon and I saw him once at a FAR (amateur) launch testing a hybrid, possibly for Balls? I have no idea if he still has the molds or not. Here are links to Ace kits, by the guy who wrote the instructions and documented those things when they were fresh: Fugue Allegro Squid Mini-Allegro Historical Jerry Last edited by Jerry Irvine : 12-29-2010 at 11:40 AM. |

Their nose cones were really light , my Binder Samurai from 15 yrs ago I think has an Ace cone, would like to see those come back, are great for light weight large diameter rockets...

I believe the Ace nose cone is what aerotech uses on the G-Force and that it can be ordered from their site. Part no. 11401 http://www.aerotech-rocketry.com/cu...rce_in_8-04.pdf

No. The Aerotech cone is proprietry, Aerotech owned molds - and although a semi-lightweight blow molded cone, is not the Ace molds. Not sure where, if any, Ace cones may be purchased, will keep my eyes open . ~ AL ( working on my THOR ebuild this AM, has an old Ace cone, now foam filled. ) Nice kits. |

A few years back when I went to a hobby shop in Portland, OR they had a large bin of Ace nose cones for $3 each! At least I think they were Ace. Did they have the bottle cap screw on thingy on the bottom? I also should have purchased Apple stock when it was cheap too!

Cantata Maybe Sandman could make a production run of Ace Series redwood nose cones for the peculiar tube sizes at a low enough cost to put in kits. . . . . Jerry is history! |

There ain't no such thing as a low cost 4" custom nose cone! That's a big junk of wood and redwood is hard to get here in Michigan.

Two years ago I lost the Ace cone of my 4" Cluster R Standard Arm. I did an extensive search on-line for a replacement and came up empty. (I did get it back at the next launch when someone found it.) For what it's worth, pre-Estes NCR also used Ace 4" cones, I have one on a Quasar NG, so maybe Matt Steele knows who was making them last. |

Ace Nose Cone Specs
Does anyone have the specifications (or better yet, a drawing) of an Ace cone (or cones) that I can take to a molder and get some pricing?
