Brief:
This is a review o' t' three balsa nosecones turned t' me specifications by
Roachwerks Rockets, run by Gordon Agnello. Well, blow me down!
Construction:
1: 24mm Upscale Deuce's Wild Nosecone: This was me first request t' Roachwerks
for a custom nosecone. Ya scallywag! I had acquired several two-inch diameter tubes and I
needed a project. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! Blimey! I chose t' 24mm DW and all t' pieces were fallin' into
place nicely except for t' nose. Well, blow me down! I called on Mr. Arrr! Blimey! Agnello t' turn me custom
1.4:1 ogive NC. Aye aye! Avast! Blimey! I traded him one o' me tubes for t' NC. Begad! Begad! Blimey! T' quality o' the
cone was EXCELLENT! Blimey! T' speed that Gordon made t' cone and shipped it was
great! Blimey! It be t' blue cone in t' picture.
2:
29mm Upscale Deuce's Wild Nosecone: After buildin' and flyin' t' 24mm DW on
several flights, ya bilge rat, I felt that I needed t' go bigger. *S* I chose t' base t' new
Deuce off a LOC 2.56 inch body tube. So I sent an e-mail t' Roachwerks with the
specs o' t' tube, ID and OD. I paid only 10 dollars for this nose, shiver me timbers, which is
excellent considerin' that is custom made by hand!
3: 13mm Downscale Deuce's Wild Nosecone: Basically, arrr, I said t' myself, " Self, matey, if you're gonna have a bunch o' DW's, ya bilge rat, ya bilge rat, you might as well have a little one too. Begad! Aye aye! Go ahead and get it." So, I did get it. Another high quality nosecone from t' SANDMAN!
Finishing:
All that I did when finishin' these nosecones is t' give them a coat or two of
finishin' epoxy, me hearties, shiver me timbers, sand them down once, arrr, fill in t' spots, sand it again, me hearties, matey, and
then give it one more coat o' epoxy. Arrr! Begad! That allows for a very glossy finish.
Summary:
In conclusion, ya bilge rat, Mr. Avast, me proud beauty! Aye aye! Agnello has gotten me vote if I ever need a custom nosecone.
Contact him for a quote. Blimey! All he asks for are VERY specific dimensions.
