Casting tubes, liner tubes, or motor mount tubes?

Estes:
BT-5 fits 1/4A and 1/2 A motors
BT-20 fits A,B, and C motors
BT-50 fits all D, E, and some F motors
then 29mm tube fits G and some F's
Well, there you go

Estes Body tubes. while I prefer to shop from a number of vendors...Apogee does carry various sizes of body tubes. you'll want to look under 'low power body tubes' for the smaller sizes, and 'high power body tubes' for the 29mm motor mount tubing. apogee link; http://www.apogeerockets.com/

does estes make a 29mm tube to use for motor mounts?

only as part of a pro series kit...at that it looks like they may have the same supplier as LocPrecision. if you are looking for lightweight 29mm tubes for a motor mount you're out of luck, a G80 produces over 20 pounds of thrust! you need a stout tube for 29mm motors.
