That's where my brain went when I saw it. It'll have to be FG wrapped. The wall is heavy but it's a softer tube.I would be building a 8.8 inch rocket
That's the 50 million dollar question.I would be looking for a nose cone
With infinite free tubing, I'd be measuring up a six-segment cutcone. Another chunk cut down into coupler, make a giant tuber from scrap.Or build your nose cone . Different ways of doing it
Sadly I do not have a large supply of mega tubes, but this design keeps popping into my head.Like a fat walrus like two foot tall
Yeah, I was thinking someone had a tube-to-elliptical cutcone calculator where you finish off with a disc over the star at the top and end up with much lower profile ridges.Blocklayer.com has one and can print full size just cut to 1/6 th of the pattern
Exactly. Whatever shape you want, made to order.Look no further. https://www.pythonrocketry.com/

I have considered that. The tubes are not "perfect" but they're pretty great. Biggest issue I've seen is couplers.Sell it. Assuming an unlimited and unchoked supply.
You can make a coupler by slotting part of the tube and joining the ends. John Coker has a tutorial.I have considered that. The tubes are not "perfect" but they're pretty great. Biggest issue I've seen is couplers.
My biggest obstacle is transportation from the acquisition site to home. And then there's the idea of shipping it to anyone that isn't local. That'd be an issue.
Agreed. I do this for all my hand made fiberglass tubes that don't match anything that is for sale. Usually the mandrel I roll the tube on is heavy cardboard or PVC and not suitable for a coupler.You can make a coupler by slotting part of the tube and joining the ends. John Coker has a tutorial.
