Estes Nose Cone and Body Tube References

[roy_lappalainen]

I have been out of the hobby for a decade plus. Has anyone updated the references created by John Brohn? Last update I can find is 2005 before I left the hobby and Ye Old Rockets plans other than kits lists hasn’t been updated since 2011.

Does this help?

No.

Sad. Thanks.

Yes and no. I knew the lists were based on the 74 parts catalog but, I did not have a copy myself.

The problem I am having is identifying the NC-50 cones in the photo and which kit(s) uses/used them.

Seems A might be a 72602 used in kit 2441 Mini Arcas.
C is a 72703 used in kit 9992 Starlight as reported by Robert Scott.

The balsa version was 3 1/4 inches long, per the Estes custom parts catalog posted above.

Cone B is 72656 used in kit 2445 Mini Max. I agree with the shape and size being 50X.
