I have the plans for the Estes Baka , but i want to upscale it , however I dont have any overall length measurements . It just says a BT-60D tube , am I to assume thats an out of the box 18 inch piece?
I want to build it using BT-80 , as I have all of the rings and other parts on hand , and also an overstock of E and F reloads (24mm) to use up

any help is appreciated

Whatever you do, don't let anyone talk you into calling it "Ohka"...it was/is "BAKA" all the way.

Baka roughly means "Stupid", "Crazy", or "Fool"...

Okha means "Cherry Blossom", which is more a description of how the flight terminated...

Read this description.

...Only if you have a Japanese immigrant neighbor whom you want to offend, for the term "baka" was also applied to the pilots who flew them.

you'll be needing approx 17.5" of bt80 .

"Baka" literally translates in japanese as "Idiot".
That is an apt description for anyone willingly climbing into the cockpit of those for ANY reason.
"Ohka" SHOULD mean TURD blossom.

Ever wonder why those Ohka pilots wore helmets?
