What's the tube/nose diameter for this cone? I've been looking for an HJ nose cone for a non-scale project for some time.

I guess I'll have to try them out and see. I do remember my one Original Rockets kit from a decade ago. The only thing I could compare the instructions to was the old Heathkit instructions. Best rocket kit instructions I've ever encountered, even a decade later.

3.9" diameter kit, nosecone is 5.25" at the widest point.

I can easily make a plug for a new mold. I do not make that kind of kit so I don't care about rights either.

Funny.....That's what Scotglas said before they started making clones of our Honest John in the mid to late 90's.

Not exactly the best supplier on the planet. He cloned our 6" cone as well. I have tried persistently to just buy them from HIM but he cannot even deliver.
