Is there a STL file for the Flis Stingray nose cone out there?

I have enough picture res to reproduce the nose cone but not too scale. to make it to scale I need the major diameter of the cone.

I will start working on it tonight. if anyone has that diameter I can make it to scale. attached is the 1/2 outline of the cone (I am going to use this to revolve a 3D Shape) but again without a dimension I can't scale it.

Erockets still has a couple in stock.
If you snooze you lose.

Here is a clean STL copy of that nose cone. its not "to scale" as I don't know what the scale is. you can of course scale it as you see fit. if someone measures the major diameter I will correct that and put it on printables/thingiverse.

ok FILE CORRECTED or at least REALLY close. looks like it was for a BT50 which is 24mm id (24.1mm) so I scaled it to that which gives a major dia or 32mm

this should be 99% their. STL corrected. if you downloaded before I edited this redownload or resize your file to 32mm

I added an easy print threaded 2 piece version to both listing though thingiverse is being slow to update.

That is the nose cone for the original Estes Honest John kit.

BMS still lists it too:

Or you can buy the kit from the reconstituted FlisKits:

While both the Semroc and BMS cones share the "AD" designation the BMS cone is NOT the same as the Stingray/Semroc cone.
IIRC Semroc turned cones for Fliskits.
See attached pic.

Available also and cheaper at BMS and Jon Rocket :cool:
Nope, not the same.
Note the turned flange above the shoulder.
Same nose cone also used in the Fliskits K'Tinga.
