Question Wanted, maxi brute Honest John nose cone

Greetings,

sadly the maiden launch of my Honest John resulted in total nose cone (NC) devastation. My fish hook swivel wasn't strong enough and popped open releasing the parachute, so the NC went into free fall from 700 feet . 15 hours of work down the tube.

Please let me know of any old or new NC options out there.

thanks everybody, Kyle

Default NC quote

Sandman,

I am stilll very much interested in a quote. I salvaged the spin motors and can make the launch rails, so I just need the NC. Please let me know how much. Thanks
