Quick question- Does any body know the material that Aerotech uses for their BT's? How strong is it?

Are they exactly the same? Or are they stronger?

What strength do you need?Ah. I am already set on (Somebody) that I can get good prices for on actual Phenolic instead of paper.
What about the "Phlexible Phenolic" that RAH provides? Is that just as bad?
Okay. The first thing I am working on has a tailcone, which will help with the tail crushing.
It's still phenolic, same thing. But don't let anyone discourage you. phenolic tubing is fine. It's tends to be brittle, and will crack if it hits the ground too hard. if the aft centering ring is flush with the bottom of the tube, it turns out fine.
"Flexible" phenolic is not the same as standard phenolic -- it's much more forgiving. The tube can be flattened a lot more than standard phenolic, without cracking, but not as much as cardboard.

AeroTech purchased tubing from the same supplier as LOC/Precision. I know the 2.6" diameter tubing has the same specs. as the LOC tubing.
