Shrike
 
Im going to be building a 2 stage Shrike pretty soon. I was looking at clear payload tubes and none of them are the correct diameter for a bt-50 body tube at Semroc. Where else can i find clear body tubes?

I think folks were buying Loadstars and WarpIIs for the payload tubes. Do a search on the forum for clear payload tubes and you'll find a lot of threads talking about them.

It looks like Aerospace Specialty Products may have what you need. Try here: http://www.asp-rocketry.com/store/m...95&Category=183

Or you could cannibalize a Nova Payloader :D

The SEMROC (Centuri) BT-50 equivalent would be ST-9, BTW...

Go grab a Quest Payloader One kit. Granted, it's tinted red, but it is nearly identical to BT-50 in diameter. And it's better than nothing...

Those are both BT-60. He's looking for BT-50, which he can get from the current issue of the Nova Payloader, though I don't know if it is the right length.

EDIT: Ah ha, Vanel found the correct solution! www.asp-rocketry.com .

Yeah, I'm thinking of hitting that myself. I'm down to my last piece of BT-50 payload. :rolleyes:
