I did notice recently that Carl at Semroc shows a 2.78" long BT-101, it means you have to cut your own.

Which I suppose beats rolling your own...

I (FlisKits) have them in 1.25" lengths (we use them on the Corona-2 booster and the Borealis kits).

I hadn't thought to put them up on our site. Consider it done. I just added them to our web site. You can find them under PRODUCTS / COMPONENTS / BODY TUBES

Thank you for the idea

If anybody wants more I have a box full of short 4" sections of BT-101 left over from my Little Joe II kits.

I just couldn't throw them away.

Oooh. How many? They would make great tube-fins for my 7x C6-3 cluster BT-101 rockets.

I have about 4 1" pieces, a 1.25" piece and a couple of 3/4' pieces all pretty rough cut.

Free to the first PM request.

The cuts a pretty rough but they can be sanded smooth.

If the tubes are stable enough with only one glue point, you could do an upscale FSI Viking I. I guess you could hide a balsa reinforcement strip down inside to help stiffen them up a little.
