leedrill Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 http://www.pyrocreations.com/inc/sdetail/512/122807has any one tried the 1" tubes from pyrocreations. Can you tell me do they have the same i.d. as nept tubes from hobby horse how do they compare strength wise. i.e. does anyone who uses them use them for end burners /whistle /or strobe rockets. If you have purchased these before would really appreciate some feed back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdercks Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi leedrill, I think those tubes will work for what you're trying to use them, I don't see why they wouldn't work for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 No, the tubes that Kevin sells are NOT the NEPT tubes Jim sells. Hobby Horse sells the "same" tubes as the Estes rockets are made from, the Pyrocreations tubes are made from chipboard and will not take the same pressures. That said, I have bought a thousand tubes from both and you can make great rockets from the chipboard tubes. Make sure you have a solid tube support, use small increments and avoid nozzles.
