Performance Rocketry 3” & 4” Tubing

How about $20 for the 3″ airframe and the nose cone is yours too.

In talking with Warren, I’ve found that PR is fairly nonstandard diameter and only fits PR components. Is this true? If so, I’ll pass the tubing deal onto someone who could make better use of it. I was just thinking of a bulletproof replica of the HPSD for 3x29mm, but I want to use a standard 3″ cone.

Anyone?

I’ve used PR cones in PML tubes, and they have been a slightly tight fit, but otherwise fine…

Anyone know how the fit would be on a GLR “Pinnacle” 3″ nose with the PR tubing? I want a long and pointy nose! 🙂 Just like HPSD.

If you are trying to use the fiberglass with paper or some phenolics then you will run into different tolerances. As far as the GLR nose cone goes… It is designed to fit phenolic and filament wound (Hawk Mountain) airframes, it will fit the PR tubes simply because the PR tubes are closer to phenolic and the filament wound tubes (Hawk Mountain) usually have a larger ID and OD.

Art, I just stopped by Hobbytown, but apparently you haven’t dropped off the tube yet. I’m gone for a little over a week – leave Tuesday. We’ll catch up after that.
