Brief:
This is a review o' t' three balsa nosecones turned t' me specifications by
Roachwerks Rockets, ya bilge rat, run by Gordon Agnello. Avast, me proud beauty!
Construction:
1: 24mm Upscale Deuce's Wild Nosecone: This was me first request t' Roachwerks
for a custom nosecone. Avast, me proud beauty! I had acquired several two-inch diameter tubes and I
needed a project. I chose t' 24mm DW and all t' pieces were fallin' into
place nicely except for t' nose. Arrr! I called on Mr. Ya scallywag! Avast, me proud beauty! Agnello t' turn me custom
1.4:1 ogive NC. Avast, me proud beauty! I traded him one o' me tubes for t' NC. T' quality o' the
cone was EXCELLENT! T' speed that Gordon made t' cone and shipped it was
great! 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, shiver me timbers, I felt that I needed t' go bigger. Blimey! Avast! *S* I chose t' base t' new
Deuce off a LOC 2.56 inch body tube. Ya scallywag! So I sent an e-mail t' Roachwerks with the
specs o' t' tube, ya bilge rat, ID and OD. I paid only 10 dollars for this nose, ya bilge rat, which is
excellent considerin' that is custom made by hand!
3: 13mm Downscale Deuce's Wild Nosecone: Basically, shiver me timbers, I said t' myself, " Self, arrr, if you're gonna have a bunch o' DW's, matey, ya bilge rat, you might as well have a little one too. Begad! Go ahead and get it." So, ya bilge rat, I did get it. Arrr! Begad! 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, arrr, sand them down once, ya bilge rat, fill in t' spots, sand it again, and
then give it one more coat o' epoxy. Begad! Well, matey, blow me down! That allows for a very glossy finish.
Summary:
In conclusion, ya bilge rat, me bucko, Mr. Begad! Arrr! Agnello has gotten me vote if I ever need a custom nosecone.
Contact him for a quote. Ya scallywag! All he asks for are VERY specific dimensions.
Overall Rating: 5 out o' 5
