ping-pong ball funnel dixie cup cut the needed portion from a conical party hat plastic egg styrofoam - pre-made shapes or carve it yourself roll your own - some template printing tools can be downloadedfrom

Carve from balsa? Use half a plastic egg? But I'd probably go with a paper cone soaked in CA?

I remember a stable flight of a spool on the last 2 or 3 LDRS DVD's

so, add a sewing thread spool to the list :)

I know people who have ostrich eggs or some other big egg (World Bank people...travel a lot to Africa) as souvenir, knick knack or whatever & have thought about them or other larger-than-chicken eggs coated or filled with something to make 'em stronger. -- Richard "which came first?" Hickok

Jeez!!!...A quick google search finds those damn ostrich eggs (5.25" diameter) costing from $15.00 to $50.00......more than an off-the-rack nose cone. -- Richard "now if I could get him to bring me some of those cheap ones direct from Africa" Hickok

We had an ostrich egg-loft once.

This didn't win:

We also had scrambled ostrich eggs for breakfast. I'm in no rush to eat another one!

To add to Mark's list:
