Back in the day we had CMR with their white sandable tubes. Anyone offer these nowadays?
I still have a few of the original tubes. What size are you looking for?
I am sick right now; please give me few days to check and see what is left. I'll also see what nose cones and egg capsules are still around.
I also have some 13mm and 18mm tubes and associated nose cones.
I haven't forgotten about you. I am STILL sick.
The Stone tubes would warp (bow) and the Euclid tubes do not bow easily. i have zero stone or cmr tubes left. Pratt has the CMR nose cone machine and can make some old CMR sizes and he may even buy tubes from Stone, so check with him. he also makes CMR style nose cones for some Estes sized tubes.
I bought 10,000 feet... i have zero stone or cmr tubes left.
You went through 10,000 feet of tubing?!!! :y:
Yup. I made my own bulk packs of kits for school programs and club classes.

The tube I really like was their phenolic impregnated tube.
Hmmm. I don't recall those tubes at all!
I should have mentioned his launch lugs were impregnated with phenolic too. At first I didn't like them until I discovered you could sand them and they came out super smooth. I wish I had about 50 of those now.
I had that little tower you kinda liked that I made in shop class so I never used his lugs! :clap:
Fred, what lengths did you buy? I worked for Howard for several years as did Brian as I remember correctly. I myself prefer the Stone tubes Howard had, as properly finished the came out much superior to Euclid tubes, without the spiral gaps to fill. Howard generally bought his tubes in 12" lengths, maybe that is why his weren't warped.
