Making your own fiberglass airframe tubes for model rockets can be surprisingly simple, but there is a learning curve. In this short tutorial presentation you'll learn how to fashion your own custom composite tubes in a variety of sizes from lightweight fiberglass cloth and laminating epoxy. While the techniques presented here are great for both sport and competition model rockets, they are especially relevant for those needing non-standard tube sizes for creating accurate scale models.

This video was first presented as part of NARCON 2022, the annual technical conference of the National Association of Rocketry.
