Baby Bertha Body tube length?

[BABAR]

I am building a 57 Gooney which is a kitbash of the Mini Bertha.

Can someone please give me a length for the body tube section?

Thanks in advance

7-1/2" is what was said here:

No offense Babs, but it took me about 1.5 minutes to find that information.

SB, ever ger the feeling some people either have shoddy research skills? Or is it that they prefer someone else to the ground work?

Thanks Gary
I checked Estes site and JimZ
I didn’t think about Rocket reviews, but you are right, I should have.

Actually I used google image search for the plans. Didn't find any but the Rocket Reviews was listed when I went back to "ALL". That's where someone had listed the parts list and gave the tube measurement.

Again, thanks

Not worried about it in this case. Not like I'm doing his homework for him. Besides, it reminded me that I need to get my BB ready to launch in a couple of weeks (have to make sure I have a BP F motor for it).

Lmftfy.com is a priceless resource for things like this!

John Brohm's reference is an excellent resource for Estes kit body tube lengths:

BTW the Mini Bertha and Baby Bertha were two different kits, with different sizes of tubes.

BABAR did you want the length for the MINI Bertha, or the BABY Bertha? You mention both...

I got plans and decals from Excelsior Rocketry.

Too bad Gordy is all sold out on his Goony plansets. I think I picked up the last one, an Honest Goon, about a month ago.
