Nose Cones

Estes Nose Cones

Estes nose cones are identified by part numbers beginning with BNC for balsa nosecones or PNC for plastic nosecones. The letters are followed by a number which matches the identifier of the body tube in which the nose cone fits. For example, a BNC-20 nose cone is a balsa cone that fits in a BT-20 tube. The nose cone identifier ends with one or two letters that are used to identify different shapes of nose cones.
