This is one of my newest rockets I've actually completed . 

As described above: it's 5.5" Loc tubing with 2 layers of fiberglass cloth ( 7.5 oz & 6 oz ) the fin can has been covered with 12 oz carbon fiber & a layer of 4 oz for a sanding vail to prevent any "frizzing "of the carbon cloth ; Epoxy used was West Systems 105 resin with a 206 hardener . In the picture it shows a standard Loc Long style plastic nose cone , but it will eventually be replaced with a fiberglass 5.38 or 5.5" ( depends if you refer to in I.D or O.D ) which has been purchased from Applied Composite Systems 

 

 

You can see that I've installed a 54 mm adapter that has been bolted in with 3-1/4 x 20 bolts .
