Brief:
This is a review o' t' three balsa nosecones turned t' me specifications by
Roachwerks Rockets, run by Gordon Agnello. Blimey! Blimey!
Construction:
1: 24mm Upscale Deuce's Wild Nosecone: This be me first request t' Roachwerks
for a custom nosecone. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! Blimey! I had acquired several two-inch diameter tubes and I
needed a project. Begad! I chose t' 24mm DW and all t' pieces were fallin' into
place nicely except for t' nose. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! I called on Mr. Blimey! Avast, ya bilge rat, me proud beauty! Blimey! Agnello t' turn me custom
1.4:1 ogive NC. Ya scallywag! Blimey! I traded him one o' me tubes for t' NC. Blimey! 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, 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, me hearties, ID and OD. Avast, me proud beauty! I paid only 10 dollars for this nose, which is
excellent considerin' that is custom made by hand!
3: 13mm Downscale Deuce's Wild Nosecone: Basically, I said t' myself, " Self, if you're gonna have a bunch o' DW's, me hearties, me bucko, you might as well have a little one too. Go ahead and get it." So, ya bilge rat, I did get it. Avast! Well, blow me down! 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 bucko, ya bilge rat, sand them down once, fill in t' spots, sand it again, matey, me hearties, and
then give it one more coat o' epoxy. Arrr! Blimey! That allows for a very glossy finish.
Summary:
In conclusion, Mr. Well, blow me down! Agnello has gotten me vote if I ever need a custom nosecone.
Contact him for a quote. Ahoy! Begad! All he asks for are VERY specific dimensions.
