John Brohm had posted accurate specifications for the Estes HBT-1800 here:

http://forums.rocketshoppe.com/show...378&postcount=1

I had remembered John posted this because I had hand written the specs on my hard copy of his reference list at that time

You, Sir, are correct; and when that latest revision (Rev 3.1) of the Book of Tubes gets posted (and there's no doubt that it will...), you'll find that this, plus much more, has been captured in the update.

John is so good at tracking those, and I thought of that...after I posted. But I was also interested in simply having some rocket dialogue as in getting the answer

> HBT-1800...measured 1.800" (1.798" exactly, using the circumference method),
> which means that it is different than the Aerotech T-1.88 tube...The Estes HBT-1800
> tube is exactly that, heavy duty, with a wall thickness of 0.031".

Glad to see I hit the thickness pretty darn close

Thanks John and I'm looking forward to rev 3.1

It's a valuable resource and I find myself referring to the list quite often.

A lot of effort went into that list and I really appreciate it!

Hey you eyeballed ~0.030" on a 0.031" wall thickness .....

I'd throw the calipers away!
