Default Enerjet 2650 BT same as NCR 2.70" BT?

I recently acquired an old piece of NCR 2.7" airframe with an aerofoam nosecone to go with. Does anyone know if this is the same BT/NC used on the Enerjet 2650 gracing AeroTech's FB page right now?

Me likee.

I have an ARG Trident 2650 clone that uses the LOC 2.6" components but admitted to being excited about maybe making a more accurate version.

The Enerjet 2650 has a tube 2.65" ID 0.045" wall 2.74" OD. The NCR and other clones are not the same tube. Neither is the USR 2650. Ours is 2.60 x 2.70 and has plastic or fiberglass or balsa cones.

The NCR foam nose cones are more comparable to Stargate or Composite Dynamics [2].

Here is one USR did to be similar to CD2.

Enerjet had a balsa nose cone and balsa tube coupler. Here is a nose cone from one:

Thanks Jerry. I thought you might know.

Guess I will clone something from NCR then. There's about a dozen of them I wanted back in the day when they had the catalog with the stacked gal in the white dress on the cover .

Indeed.

Was it Tracy?

Something like that.

I got that catalog when I was like 12 years old, and drooled and drooled over the Phantom 4000 (and the previously mentioned classy gal). I finally got it along with a couple of AeroTech motors, the winter of 89. Still have the Phantom. And the catalog LOL.

Semroc HAD the correct tubes/cones; I do not know if they still do.
