Hey all! Been away a VERY long time, dealt with some serious life changing stuff, but am finally working at getting back to a somewhat normal life. (Well, normal for me anyway!)
I'm working with a buddy of mine to resurrect and fly the AHPRA Sparrow-Arcus at Balls next year for it's 20th anniversary. We want to replace the payload tube, but I'm having a heck
of a time finding a replacement. The original, it is thought, was of the 98mm, Heavy Walled MMT tubing from the long gone High Sierra Rocketry.
What I'm looking for is about 18" of 98mm ID x .125" wall thickness cardboard tubing, thought fiberglass or phenolic, or honestly, whatever would work.
Does anyone either have a short piece of the High Sierra Tube, an idea of where to find it, or a viable option?
Thanks!!
Ron
