Does anyone have a Trident II thats been opened or built that I could get some specs for an upscale? I have one but I dont want to open the package.

Ah yes, the Bi-dent. Planning a clone or an upscale?

I want to build an upscale around 3 or 4x. Many years ago I started my own version called trident III which will have one central motor with 2 airstarts on outer tubes. It is almost complete. The D motor model flew flawless.
But I really want to build a true upscale of the original. The online plans help but I need the nosecones to get exact shapes. Im sure one of the balsa nosecone makers have these specs.

There’s an Estes nose cone reference guide over on Ye Olde Rocket Shoppe. It lists all the cones and what kits they were on. BMS should have them, as well as be able to upscale them for you for a decent price.

I’ve had some custom work done by them and they are very easy and quick to deal with. Reasonable prices and very good quality wood and tubes.
