Perhaps the recent reissue of the Saturn V kit may make it slightly easier to find the body tube? Have also given some thought into "rolling my own" and looked into getting a length of pipe to act as a mandrel.Naoto Kimurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762712349150120196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-85177755087802135782017-03-08T09:49:40.376-05:002017-03-08T09:49:40.376-05:00I do remember a toy called Toobee, which looked li...I do remember a toy called Toobee, which looked like the top of a soda can. After seeing one, I decided to try to see if I can make one of my own. I took a aluminium soda can, cut it at about 2~3" from top, and cut around the inside of the top (leaving the rolled seam joining the top to the body of the can -- it was kept as noseweight), then filed down the sharp edges. Actually worked quite well - just a slight flick (to impart a spin) when you toss it and it flew quite well.Naoto Kimurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762712349150120196noreply@blogger.com
