The Estes body tube reference by John Brohm, a kit I have and an 80s built model all agree on 8.65". Are you cloning?

When talking about the tube/kit reference, it always helps to toss a link to it too.

And while you're at it... one to the nosecone/kit reference

No, not cloning. Just wanted to replace a missing tube from an opened kit. Thanks to all who responded.
