In fairness to California, it has *no* place like Detroit, where entire neighborhoods have been abandoned and bulldozed, so that much of the city is now "urban farmland." I view the different states (with their different ways) as I view the books in a library, or the variety of foods in a grocery store--there's something for everyone. Regarding the MPC/SAI body tubes:
I very much miss the Centuri and Estes brown kraft paper tubes (which were virgin kraft paper, with full-length fibers), as today's recycled kraft paper body tubes, containing shorter, chopped fibers, are softer than the brown virgin kraft paper tubes. But the MPC/SAI body tubes were even harder and stiffer than the old Centuri and Estes tubes. If that was due to a different outer wrap (maybe it contained more glassine, or some kind of resin?), perhaps the recycled kraft paper tubes could be upgraded to be similar to the MPC/SAI tubes in consistency and strength (and being able to sand their seams away would be a *very* welcome "fringe benefit!"). Maybe someone with chemical analysis expertise could analyze an MPC or SAI tube to "reverse engineer" whatever it was that gave them those positive, useful characteristics?
