Wildman's new one, 5-1 Von Karmen is a high temp plastic rated to mach 4.5 Now comes standard on all the mini's and Jr. size kits!
Plastic infused with fiberglass. This plastic is used in bullet casing for 30mm cannon & survives being fired at Mach 4.5 Also used in jet fight window/canopies.
They are easily epoxied & painted....hold both very well. These are for thin wall glass tubing.
Lighter than glass .... 19.95 for the 38mm...... The 54 is 24.95 [not a VK it's 4-1]
AND no more inconsistency with wall thickness ....perfect every one.....every time.
And for the first time shown ANYWHERE..... available in crystal clear! Price on clear is??? for now. Soon to be retailed.

At first I thought that the clear looked pretty bad, then I clicked the image. WOW!!! I need an excuse to do something with that.... Oh, yeah... I've got one (maybe). If only it was available in BT-60 sizes.

Wow! How did I miss this?!!?!?
What sizes are available? Do you have a web link? Is the plastic polycarbonate?

Jim, are they sized for standard 38mm tubing, or the lightweight tubing in the Wildchild? I see you mention thin wall- just making sure we are talking the same thing.

Thin wall, light weight tubing.....38mmm & 54mm........19.95 & 24.95 Yes they can be bought "Ala Cart" .
I don't know where they are located on Wildman site, just call and ask him or order. LOL
They are for the Wildman Sport series and Mini series of kits. Which are found under Wildman & "Sport"....."Mini" on his site.
Ask him about other sizes coming, I don't know.

I want to see new tubing made of this stuff, might make everything else obsolete.

Jim, out of the same material as the nosecones? It could be interesting assuming the properties of the material lends to making a long tube out of.
