Want a super-performance
Pinnacle nosecone? The
Smart alternative
to fiberglass cones:
On the inside ---
Fill the inside of your
pinnacle nosecone with
our two-part expandable
foam. It fills the
cavity and applies equal
pressure to make the
cone super rigid. We
made the walls of the
Pinnacle cone especially
with this in mind.
On the outside --
To prep for exterior
coating, wash the
Pinnacle with warm soapy
water, let dry, and then
apply rubbing alcohol
with dustless rag. After
the alcohol is
completely dry and
evaporated, apply a
plastic paint-prep spray
available from your auto
parts store. That's the
stuff that is used to
prep plastic car bumpers
before the color coat.
Finally, spray on a high
heat paint -- like the
Duplicolor
ceramic-embedded primer
that is good to 1200 F.
Then add a high-heat
Duplicolor paint of your
choice.
THE LESSON:
Why use a
fiberglass nosecone for
high performance? First,
they are heavy. Why toss
a brick in the air in
the name of "high
performance"? Second,
they are potentially
weak. Fiberglass cones
have that seam down the
middle that joins the
two halves from the
mold. A chain is as
strong as its weakest
link. Third, they are
VERY expensive.
Save your money. Fly
smarter not heavier. Fly
Pinnacle and go punch a
hole in the sky.
