T-8 Nosecones

Post by Tim Chen »

Does anyone out there have a suggestion for something common that will work as a T-8 nosecone? I'm looking for a toy or a plastic easter-egg or something that has a nosecone that will fit a T-8 tube. Please help!!!

I don't really want to tell you cause you are my competiton but owell.

I take like a 2 inch styrofome ball that are used for hobby projects and shape them to fit. It works really well but takes some time to complete.

Thanks for the tip. I wanted to let you know that I put one of these balls on a drill and used a razor knife to shape it like a lathe. It worked great!
