I am searching for a very thin very light min body tube for MMX max altitude attempt, not really for competition, more for my personal enjoyment. My only perameters are go real high, AND get my rocket back...lol! , I am not concerned with looks or longevity but for fun let's say the airframe must withstand at least 2 launches.
I have toyed with rolling a body tube from Esaki Japanese tissue? Also looking for low drag fin design?
The Estes 3/16 launch lug on the left looks great at .008 wall thickness and very stiff but of course to small...the Estes 1/4" lug on the right is .030 wall and seems to be just decent quality cardboard. Any performance tips?
