Didn't I make a big nose cone for one...somewhere?

Yup!
 

I've actually got two of your gorgeous Tau Zero upscale (SLS class) nosecones, Gordy --- I'm the proud owner of SLS Tau Zero's 1 and 3. :)

Pics one of these days when I remember to shoot 'em! :D

OK, see when you wait a year from the time I make the part until you build it I tend to forget.

I don't even remember doing two of them!

Gordy to the rescue!
 

Gordy made four ST-10 based 1.37X upscales and three "SLS" 1.75X versions, which Dean has two of in his possession.

That was probably back in 2008. :eek: :o

And yes, they're *gorgeous.* ;) :D

Cheers,

Dean's SLS Tau Zero
 

What?!? You actually *built* one? :eek: ;) :D :cool:

I need to see the gorgeous pictures, please. :D


Cheers,

I did??? :confused:

Holy $&@* I don't remember any of that! :eek:

It must be all that balsa dust your breathing :chuckle:

Or Smoking!!! :chuckle:

I actually took a whole series during the build process, but do you think I can find the darn things? :mad:

I'm traveling this week and next, but will see if I can grab a snapshot or two when I get home and post. The SLS TZ is really a nice build and a good flier (not to mention Gordy's balsa work on that cone...we're talking "work of art in wood", here). :)
