Estes documentation in the instructions for part numbers and descriptions has changed wildly over the years. As such, sometimes the designation (e.g. PNC-60 AH (Blow Molded)) of a nosecone will be known, but the part will be identified as Nose Cone, or Plastic Nose Cone. Therefore, the designations in this document may be from known information, but not found in the instructions. Occasionally, part numbers can be found in the 1974 Custom Parts Catalog (CPC), and will be provided. There are also occasions where a part number has been recycled, or errors in the instructions will contradict, all reasonable attempts will be made to clarify what is what.
