Dont quote me on this, but *i think* totally tubular do an equivalent. Worth a look for sure, I think they can be found by a quick search on Google. IIRC the web address isn't very 'catchy', again don't quote me on that.

Hi, Mark,
Totally Tubular has a T-101 listed. But no T-100.

Kosrox was selling T-100, but he has shut down. You can always email him to see if he might have a piece left.

The website says he's "liquidating remaining stock".
Also, the Apogee Sat1B is 1/70 scale like the old Estes, so they should have a nearly identical tube, right?

They may not list it in their parts, but you can email them and see if they'll sell you one.

It's not on your website that I could find ... so why don't you tell us if it is in stock and price and length , brown or white outter wrap?
Well the T-101 is what he needs, I think. The T-100 would be a coupler but you can make one from a T-101 easy enough.

Gee, Paul©®,
You mean after I went to JimZ's and looked them up, I still got them wrong? Man, I can't believe that. So you went and verified them before jumping in here to tell me I'm wrong, right? I mean, it'd be really bad form to correct someone and be wrong, right?
BTW: The T-100 is not a coupler for the T-101. It's 3.744" od fits quite loosely into the T101's 3.896" id.
Doug I hate getting fired on when I've done my homework.
Lighten up dude. I said I *think* the T-101 is what you need. As it is I am buying tubes to make the *same* clone kit. I am going to use T-101s with T-100s for couplers. I'm an novice rocket builder (though a long time modeler) as I stated in my first post. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and the way I stated it leads that open as a possibility.
And for the record, nobody was *firing* on you. You always get your panties in a twist when people just post a thought?
Paul
Oops. That is because we do not have "abundant quantities" right now.
17" and 34" and 11". $7, $12, $4couplers are 3 and 6 inch.
White with glassine outside.
$5 box charge on 34" About $5 shipping minimum. Actual billed.
We are open to buying dead manufacturer's overstocks BTW.
Well, you wouldn't post it unless you were pretty sure, right? And if you're not sure, why would you post without at least doing a bit of checking?
Think about it. If you *think* someone's wrong, isn't it prudent to not say anything unless/until you're sure?
It's a pretty loose fit. I have the tubes in the garage. I just looked and it will take many, many wraps of tape to snug them up. But I did see a coupler in my 101. I likely got it from Kosrox.
As for using the 101 on the Sat1B, the
1/70 kit plans on JimZ call for a 2.78" long piece of 101 for the tail ring. And a 10.894" long piece of 100 for the upper body tube. Not sure where you're gonna put the coupler.And my panties are just fine. We all make mistakes, Paul. But I find I make a lot less when I do a little checking before posting.
Doug If God had wanted me to be perfect, He'd'a made me that way.
Well pardon me while I toss you into the paranoid nutcase bin.

And this from someone who posts copyright and registered trademark by his name?!? Hmm...
Are we back to the pot/kettle thread?

Actually that goes back a long time to a joke started on another newsgroup.

HOW does he DO that? Or as the Joker would have said, "Where does he get those toys?" ; )
