Default ST-13 8' tubing needed

Anyone have at least 8' of Semroc ST-13 tubing they are willing to sell? Trying to repair a Texas Firefly.

What is the OD of that tubing? I hope you meant 8” instead of 8’.

Yeah, just 8 inches and not feet. :-) Its 1.34” (3.4 cm) which I think is the same as Estes BT-56 which also is no longer around. Only issue with some of these older semroc kits is the tubing is no longer available.

I’ll check my stuff. I just got home from NY and I have a million things to do first but I’ll check later today.

If you cannot get a hold of an 8" or longer tube your only option might be to couple two shorter tubes together. The 4.6" tube is in stock, as is the ST-13 coupler at erockets.

…or maybe find an old junked Astrocam booster on eBay and rob the bodytube from it. Same size.

That’s BT-56, I have a whole bunch.

PM me you’re address and I’ll send you what you need.

I have 18” lengths. I can cut it for if you need me to.
