Recently acquired an Estes Jupiter C in "excellent condition" . Turns out that this description was for the shipping box rather than the contents. When opened I found all the fins were loose in the package and that the body tube was crushed. My intention was to build this kit, so I'm hoping to find a replacement for the body tube. Anybody seen a BT67? (2.04 OD, 18L)

That's the old Centuri ST-20 tube. Many vendors sell it, including Semroc.

When Estes Industries and Centuri Engineering were merged under the ownership of Damon, Estes incorporated some Centuri parts into some of their kits. Estes used Centuri's ST-20 in some kits, and called it BT-67 in their documentation.

Estes took it a step farther with the Mercury Redstone. As far as I can tell, it's the exact same kit with Estes packaging and plans. :eek: :cool:
