Okay, Bill, take a look at these two images. Does this profile look pretty much like your stock BNC-50BC from BMS?

Lemme know. Thanks,

Updated RockSim files follow.

Now I just have to remember to save the "tweaked" nose cones to my database...


Now *that's* funny!


UPDATE: Oops! I changed the nose cone, but forgot to run the sims! (Sorry, you'll need to re-download those files again!)

UPDATE #2: While Bill's Balsa Machining Services BC-50BC nose cone measures 11/16" (0.6875 ") wide at the beginning of the ogive section, Carl McLawhorn's reproduction at:

http://www.semroc.com/Store/Scripts...p?idproduct=975


...measures 5/8" (0.625") at the same place. (I'm all for making people's lives simpler. ) *SO* I updated the Wolverine files (*again!*) to reflect this. (That makes the 1.36X upscale 0.85" wide at the same point.) Sorry for the inconvenience!



1.00X (13mm)
Motor / Max. Altitude / Deployment Speed

1/2A3-2T -- 87 ft. -- 3 fps
A10-3T -- 267 ft. -- 9 fps


1.36X (18mm)
Motor / Max. Altitude / Deployment Speed

B6-4 -- 314 ft. -- 10 fps
C6-5 -- 796 ft. -- 5 fps


Cheers,

--Jay

Or in *this* case, "precede" the post that you're reading now.

*Dang,* Carl's take on the original Wolverine nose cone looks *way* cool!


Cheers,

I have the original still in mint condition. I have launched it several times without any problems. It is a unique model I think.

Apparently Carl can't leave well enough alone, either:

In honor of the Semroc BT-60 version of the original BNC-50BC nose cone, I offer you... (melodramatic pause)

...The BT-60 1.68X Wolverine upscale.


1.68X (24mm)
Motor / Max. Altitude / Deployment Speed

C11-5 -- 480 ft. -- 14 fps
D12-5 -- 1015 ft. -- 25 fps
E9-6 -- 1600 ft. -- 11 fps


It's been a long day today, so I'll have to post the parts list for it sometime later this week.


Cheers,

Here's a couple of pics of someone's Estes Wolverine at NSL - 2006 in McGregor this past May. Not sure who it belongs to or how it flew, as my Estes Patriot flew first and drifted far
downwind, and was given up as lost since my son and I couldn't find it (it was a D12-5 powered model).

PS: Royce Frankum did find the Patriot several hours later. Thanks, Royce!!
