One special I always wanted was a set of all the body tube sizes in very short (2-3") lengths. I have access to that now. When I am building a rocket, I use a short piece of tube to fit the nose cone, then sand it, fill it, and paint it. THEN I finsih the actual body tube. This keeps all the sanding and layers of filler coat off the final tube. The short piece is then thrown away. I used to think that everyone did that.


Call it a Motor Tube Assortment, with "lots of additional uses"...
