Overview

In educational rocketry, reliable recovery is key to student success. The 50A Nose Cone Pin provides the secure connection needed between the rocket’s nose cone and recovery system, ensuring smooth parachute or streamer deployment at apogee.

Constructed from clear injection-molded ABS plastic, the pin combines strength with lightweight performance. It resists cracking and deformation, even after repeated launches, making it well-suited for classroom use where rockets are flown multiple times.

Compatible with BT-50 body tube rockets, the 50A Nose Cone Pin is designed for nose cones without molded eyelets. This simple but effective design keeps assembly straightforward for students and educators while maintaining consistent performance.

Used in popular Estes kits such as the Mini Der Red Max, Athena, and Tri-Flyer, this pin helps reinforce important STEM concepts by giving students a reliable recovery system part that supports hands-on learning and safe, repeatable flights.
