Does anyone know where I can buy some 3" low power Estes type body tubing and couplers that ill fit this size tubing?
Thanks for the help.Balsa Machining sells 3in body tubes, centering rings, couplers and nosecones compatible to the Estes 3in tubing.
Cheap and good quality stuff.

For cheap rockets I use 3" mailing tubes from an office supply store. They are cheap, available and no big loss if you crash them. The ones I have used would fit a nose cone.
I have a 3" mailing tube and my Leviathan nose cone fits perfectly. Could be the difference in tubes maybe.3in Mailing tubes fit LOC nosecones. Estes ones are just a tad to small.

I don't even know where mine came from, I think I salvaged it from work. Looks to be the same weight as the Estes PSII tubes. Guess I may have to use it to make a dual deploy Leviathan or something....At least I now know what I can use it for.The ones I have dont fit my big daddy NC (which i think is the exact same as the leviathan's) . If you go to the store looking for a tube make sure to bring a NC along to make sure it fits!
