The Story
The BT-65 Body Tube is built for rocketeers who want to scale up their next Estes project. With a 23.5 inch length and strong spiral wound paper construction, it gives custom builders a dependable airframe for larger rockets, replacement work, and high-impact launch-day designs.
A Larger Tube for More Ambitious Builds
BT-65 sizing gives you more presence on the launch pad and more space to plan the rocket around your goals. Whether you are designing a clean single-body rocket or building something taller with compatible couplers and nose cones, this tube gives your project a strong place to start.
Designed for 29 mm Engine Projects
When used with the proper 29 mm to BT-65 laser cut ring set and related engine mounting components, the BT-65 Body Tube can support rockets built around Estes E16 or F15 model rocket engines. That added power makes it a great option for hobbyists who want a larger rocket with exciting lift, strong performance, and a dramatic climb.
Great for TARC-Style Rocketry
Pair this body tube with compatible BT-65 components to create a rocket that can reach over 4 feet tall, including egg lofting designs inspired by TARC competition requirements. The BT-65 Body Tube is also used in the Green Eggs and Olympus rockets, giving builders a proven Estes part for serious custom projects.
