Use Apogee's Nose Cones To Make Your
Own Rocket Designs Fly!

Choosing nose cones for your customized rockets is easy using our simplified numbering system and the charts listed here. The number following the part name tells you the tube diameter in millimeters. For example, a PNC-18 plastic nose cone will fit a 18mm dia. tube.

For those who are not familiar with tubes being listed in "millimeters," here is a conversion chart that will help you compare our part names against those used by Estes Industries:

13mm dia. = BT-5 size tube
18mm dia. = BT-20 size tube
24mm dia. = BT-50 size tube
41.6mm dia. = BT-60 size tube
56mm dia. = BT-70 size tube
66mm dia. = BT-80 size tube

See the picture to the right
for the shapes of each nose cone

Nose Cones For Big Rockets!

Do you have a big-rocket project that you are working on? We've got quite a few nose cones that will put the tip on it. See the chart below for specifications and to place your order.

These are high power nose cones that fit both the LOC kraft-paper tubes, as well as the Blue Tubes. The nose cones are blow-molded out of Polyproplyene plastic, which makes them hollow, yet very durable so they'll take the abuse of any high power motor you care to put behind them.

*Due to the length of the oversized nose cones, there is a $2.00 shipping premium added to your total to cover the extra long box and additional freight charges.

These nose cones fit both the LOC kraft-paper tubes, and the Blue Tube. We've noticed the fit is a little tight on the Blue Tube, but a little sanding on the inside edge of the tube should take care of that.

A strong screw eyelet is molded right into the base. Metal Screw eye is not included.
