A flexible foam nose cone that gives some extra protection to rockets carrying egg payloads if the nose hits the ground first.
Weighing in at just 29.4 grams this Urethane foam cone is a great option for a UKROC rocket.
Made from a flexible urethane foam. It is similar to the stuff we use to make the egg protectors, but a bit firmer. This should allow the nose to hit the ground hard, and give some additional protection to the egg. But you will sacrifce some drag, since the surface is pretty rough.
This nose cone fits the BT-80 tube however, it is a snug fit in the tube, so it should stay attached to the tube without the need for extra tape on the shoulder.
The main downside of this nose cone is that the surface is not smooth like a plastic nose cone. And since it is flexible, it cannot be sealed and sanded. There is a thin skin on the surface, that does make the nose slippery. That is good, as it reduces drag. Once it is flexed, the surface does become a little wrinkled.
Assume that this nose is going to produce more drag on the rocket than other nose cones that are smooth and/or painted. You'll have to test fly the nose a few times to figure out how much extra drag it produces. To compensate for the extra drag, you may need to use a larger rocket motor. But you may be pleasantly surprised, because it does have a slick finish, and it weighs much less than any other nose cone this size.
