I'm cleaning off the shelves and would like to get rid of a few things I have saved for projects I'll probably never get to do. I've also got some odds and ends. I'll list everything in order with the asking price in two groups followed by photos.
The 1st group is my own personal stuff which I'd like paypal to my personal email address. The 2nd group are items from the business which I'd like paypal to my business email. Check or Money orders may be snail mailed to me for either group. Please send ALL purchase inquiries through email to scott (at) loki research dot (com). DO NOT send me a PM here as my box will either get full of I'll miss it /forget it. Shipping costs will be added to your purchase and will be figured once the items are boxed and ready for shipping. Please be patient with deliveries as I'll be doing this along side my normal work load. I have made every effort to accurately describe the items and their conditions but if you have any basic questions, please ask in the thread.
Thank you

7.5" LOT SOLD
I would prefer to sell these 7.5" items together as a group for $285 but will sell individually for the following prices. These may or may not have a few small nicks on the ends of the tube. They have been through a few moves. I just want the buyer to be aware and not have any surprises.
7.5" x 48" pre-glassed phenolic PML airframe. (glassed by PML, very well done & very strong) Has 4 slots about 3/16" wide by about 7"? long. $110
7.5" x 26" pre-glassed phenolic PML airframe. Has a layer of white gelcoat for a few inches at one end. $60
7.5" x 20" pre-glassed phenolic PML airframe. $45
7.5" x 13.5"" pre-glassed phenolic PML airframe. $30
7.5" PML fiberglass nose cone, 29" exposed with a 6" shoulder, $75 It has a bulk plate and hard points mounted at the base of the shoulder. It has an excellent fit to the airframe tubes.
6" x 35" PML phenolic airframe tube $18
6" x 30" PML phenolic coupler tube $15 (I need to double check the length here. it is the tube laying at an angle in the photo.
GROUP #2 Business
For the scratch builder who likes something different. I have some convolute wound fiberglass tubes that were made in NEMA grade FR-4 with a medium weave fiberglass cloth. These are far superior in strength to that of filament wound tube for use as airframes as they won't delaminate in a spiral down the tube. Suffice it to say there are no nose cones that will fit these tubes, but they are incredibly strong for their size & wall thickness. They can be used as the booster section and reduced down to a standard size tube with mating nose cone. Custom size centering rings are easy to come by these days too Laundru could even 3D print you out a transition or shroud to a smaller tube size or even centering rings for the smaller tubes for mid-power use.
I will sell this lot together as a group for $100 which is $27 off the individual prices.
1.325"OD x 48.125" long, $22.50
1.325"OD x 49.25" long, $22.50
1.925"OD x 46.4375" long, $33 SOLD
1.925" OD x 48" long, $33 SOLD
1.925" OD x 13.5" long, $8 SOLD
1.925" OD x 15.375" long, $8, has a slight crease in the top layer at one end
Last I have three 76/3600 Loki Research motor cases that are out of spec. The ID is too small for the current convolute liners as well as the old spiral phenolic liners Jeff Taylor use to sell. They were made back in 2009 in Philadelphia and the problem wasn't noticed until after they were finished, along with several other cases. Yet another reason I switched to DOM tube. I personally put masking tape at one end to identify them back in '09. These are all that are left. The last run of spiral wound liners I stocked did fit these cases, but I have been unwilling to sell them as new stock as they are not up to my high standards. Bulkheads and nozzles still fit, but the liners are literally as few thousandths of an inch too big to fit. BTW, I will personally check the fit of the closures before sending these out. I CAN NOT guarantee the fit to any liners you may have now or may purchase in the future, but for those who like to do things themselves, these might be for you. One case has a slight discoloration on the external anodizing.
SOLD
