3 - Jerry.... specific question regarding your Mega-roc initial release.
Both CRm ads, and the vintage ( arange cover sheet ) USR catalog I have show the Megaroc with appears to be a Pershing cone. also pics of your I200 flight at LDRS-1 .
Was this just the prototype ? or were kits shipped with Pershing cones ? ( or Ace ? )


Sil-Pak in Pomona, CA has the clear amber resin you want. Since they are just a urethanes supplier there is one locally to you as well.

I don't know if the Stargate AeroRam was through the wall, sorry.

The Mega-Roc was released with the Estes Pershing nose cone and many were shipped with them repurposed from crashed rockets, purchased from Estes, purchased from dealers. It was later superceeded by the Ace PNC-39 nose cone, still the best BT-39 nose cone ever made.

The Mongrel was using the Estes V-2 nose cone. Not many were shipped with Ace nose cones. The modern version uses a PML nose cone.

Kinda handy to have all those old CRm's online, eh?

Just Merry Jerry
