You could get some 1/8" thick nonexistent honeycomb core material. Laminate a layer around the tube, then a layer of two of glass or carbon and you are there.
Mark - Thanks.
If it exists, I'll certainly look into it.:smile:

I think this might be what we're talking about....this comes in .125 thick rolled mat which I believe is 1/8 inch thick....and Wow, ONLY $100 for the smallest size roll.
Thanks, but I think I'll go with balsa sheet, and put in the extra labor.

This is an area of interest to me. RC guys use rohacell structural foam, goes down to 1mm.
Yes, I' did a brief search for rohacell.
But I've sheeted so many balsa covered foam wings I figured that method might go quicker rather than wait for a delivery.
I could use some rohacel for a Sagitta 900 build -(that darn spar box).
Any good sources you like for rohacell?
I hear clarasonic is the way to go, but haven't tried yet.
LOL I don't have surface treatment issues, not yet anyway.:lol:
Now, Back to our regularly schedule program.
Not exactly.You are wrapping balsa around the paper tubes? If so, is this for strength?
Tower will get some epoxy on the joints before primer and sanding.
Apogee body tube for the LES rocket body comparison - need to start thinking about materials for a skirt and nose cone fabrication.
