Looking for BT 100 for my clone ML. I know that back i Aug 03 there was a thread of such, but here it is 10 months later and need help. Where can I find such a critter. I only need one for right now. Anybody got a bead on one?:

Totally Tubular has them (although the website probably isn't updated.)

Just be prepared to wait a while after you place your order to receive it.
would it be a possible option to take a slice out of a BT 101 and re-glue the strip to the inside?

Short of rolling your own, that is the ONLY option.

we've been toying around with the idea of a BT100 and/or BT101 for inventory and parts sales. Problem is *space*... where do you store thousands of BT100's?????

Would it be possible to bring out a "true" BT-100? How much demand would you need to see to make this worthwhile for you?
Just curious, because I'd like to do an SS Cassiopeia clone, and I'd rather have a BT100 for that rear ring than a BT101. I'd even buy an entire 34" tube...

I guess what I'm saying is: If you go with a BT101 instead of a BT100 on a Cassiopiea clone, you'll probably be the only one who ever knows the difference - unless you take yours and hold it ring-to-ring with one made with a BT100 for the only purpose of doing a size comparison.

You see, the fins slip over the outside of the ring, rather than the ring slipping over the fins. Also, particularly if you're like me - I tend to cut the fins a fraction larger than the templates just because of the method I use for tracing them on the balsa sheeting - you may not have to "fiddle" very much at all. In any event, the "fiddling" would entail sanding down the fins where they attach to the ring to accomodate a nice snug fit, which would be relatively easy to do.
Here's a close up of the fin attachment point to the ring on my Cassiopiea to give you a better mental picture of what I'm talking about.

Good point. Out of curiosity -- when you do a production run on body tubes, is it really that big a minimum size?
(Half-facetiously -- you could use the BT100s to hold smaller tubes in your storage room. :-D)
That's also the correct tube to clone a Mars Lander.Originally posted by stymye
or scavenge the body from the big R2D2 kit..the thing flys awfull anyway..
