Thanks for your comments. It's still a great mystery to me. This nose cone was all white and all vinyl, about 8" long. As I recall, about BT-55 to BT-60ish. It had to have been injection moulded, and it was so memorable because it had a slight curve in it, so it wasn't symmetrical about its long axis. And sure enough, when it flew the nose cone had an effect..........its flight described a slow curve (before it catoed). |

OK, one last time this rocket sounds like what your describing.
Open up the link, scroll down to page five and read instruction #21 http://oldrocketplans.com/enerjet/e...etNikeSmoke.pdf It is the Centuri-Enerjet Nike Smoke. They tell you not to paint the N/C and that it is made of a flexible type plastic. Oh, and it's long too! Oh and it uses 'E' and 'F' motors. BT is 1.64 After this I give up!

My favorite is step #12: "Ream the forward hole until the tube can slide through without crushing." Reaming in the golden age of rocketry. Who knew?

You know, it just MIGHT have been that rocket. Not exactly as I remember it, and we sure didn't follow those instructions for the nose cone, but I haven't seen anything else that even comes close to what I remember. Thanks for digging that up! Joe |

Don't thank me, it was the other guy who found it first. I just brought the nose cone part to your attention. Chas Russell from post #9 found it first. Everything fits and like the rest of us, unless you have a pic, details are getting harder to remember.
