Default Body tube project

This is something I've been working on for a while now, but kind of in fits and starts. I'd really like to finish it in case it's of use to anyone, so if you know any of the tube lengths for these rockets and would like to share your secrets, PM me with the info. Thanks.

860 Star Dart
870 Pulsar

I'll start with these...

The #860 Star Dart is essentially the same rocket as the #871 Vector, with the exception of the nose cone and decal. The fins are the same.

All three models use the BT-5P, which the Parts Catalog indicates is 5.1" long. For the nose cones, Star Dart uses the BNC-5W, while the Vector and the Pulsar use the BNC-5AX.


Quote:
1332 CC Express

The sustainer is a full-length BT-55. The booster is a 3.5" length of BT-55.


Quote:
1388 Apache-2

Same kit as the Centuri Tiger Streak #5357. Booster body is the BT-50J, 2.75" long. The sustainer body is the BT-50L, 12.7" long.


Quote:
1955 Ranger

Full-length BT-55.


Quote:
1960 Nova Payloader

BT-50L, 12.7" long.


Quote:
1983 Arrow

Odd-ball tube. Catalog says the total length is 18.75". Measured length of the nose cone is ~6.75" (PNC-60AH, same as on the Mean Machine and Screamin Mimi). This gives us a 12" length of BT-60.


Quote:
2005 Javelin

Another odd-ball tube. Catalog length of model is 11.5". The PNC-20N should be about the same length as the BNC-20N, which is 2.75". Tube length is 8.75" of BT-20.


Quote:
2029 Raven

Full-length BT-60.


I'll try to get more as time allows...

Default More tube lengths

Quote:
1258 Alpha IV

Same as the Alpha III. BT-50EE, 5.5" long.


Quote:
1259 Orbital Transport

Same as for the original K-series version. Mothership body tube is a full-length BT-50. Shuttle body tube is BT-20D, 6.5" long.


Quote:
1356 Astro Bee

In my RKT file, I show this as the BT-50W, which is 9.5" long; but there is another image by EchoVictor that shows the tube at 9.0". Here's what the catalog says: 14.75" long. EV's image has a trailing edge sweep of 0.718". If you take the 9.0" length of his tube and the 4.375" length of the PNC-50Y nose cone, you get a total of 14.093". Roughly 5/8" short.


Quote:
1377 Hercules

Booster body tube is a BT-50J, 2.75" long. Main sustainer tube is a BT-50W, 9.5" long. The clear plastic payload body is the PST-50S, 4" long.


Quote:
1997 Pathfinder

Lower body tube is full-length BT-60. Upper body tube is full-length BT-55.


Quote:
2007 IRIS

The plans show two tubes joined in the middle with a JT-50C. The tube lengths are odd-ball, at 6.375" each. Alternately, you could simply substitute a single BT-50L, which is 12.7" long, and you'd only be short 0.05".


Quote:
2022 Warp II / 1760 Loadstar

Both models are the same design, but with different decals.

Booster body tube is an odd-length, 3.25" of BT-55. Sustainer body tube is BT-55IJ, 9.0" long. Payload body tube is clear plastic PST-60R, 5" long.


Quote:
2174 Polaris

Same rocket as the 2179 Guardian, but with different fins and decals.

Main body tube is odd-length of 11.20" BT-55. Upper body tube is BT-50J, 2.75" long.


More to come...

The Mini Patriot #896 is easy. I cloned it and didn't even know it. 2 Bt-20's. 1 is 1.25" the other is 5.675". Funny I didn't know that until a year after I had built my own.

Default More Tube Lengths

Quote:
880 Skinny Mini

Three equal, but odd-ball, lengths of 9.0" BT-5 tubes.

This was done to accomodate packaging. You should clone this with one full-length BT-5 and one 9" BT-5, eliminating one coupler.

Quote:
1907 Cyclone

Main body tube is 12" long. This is actually a Centuri series-13 tube, and can be duplicated with one of Carl's ST-13120. The fins are the same as on the 1922 Marauder. Carl also has the balsa nose cone for this model.

Odd-ball length. Most-recent BETA version uses two (2) 4" long pieces of BT-5.


Quote:
877 Meanie

Body tube is BT-50S, 4" long.

One full-length BT-55 for the main body tube; one 4" BT-55S for the payload body tube. Motor tube is the 2.75" BT-50J.


Quote:
2042 America

Odd-ball length of 9.375" BT-50 to get the final model length of 15".


Quote:
2044 Solar Sailer II

Thumbs up Prime Number Explorer, Wasp

0891 Prime Number Explorer
1930 Wasp

My definitive contributions:

Prime Number Explorer #0891

The BT-55 is 13 9/16 (13.5625)" long, and the BT-5 motor mount/stuffer tube is 9.0" long. (Although I've decided to substitute a 2.75" long BT-20 when I get around to building it.)


Estes Wasp #1930

In YORF thread http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/show...35&postcount=15 ,
our own rmmcdaniel says, "The [BT-55] tube is 12" according to the guy who sent me the scans." Incidentally, the foil wrap is 3 1/4 " long x 4 1/4" wide.

Cheers,

--Jay
