Default #1976 Jupiter C question

Can someone tell me the length of the main ST-20 body tube of the #1976 Jupiter C? I’m pretty sure it’s shorter than the MR’s tube.

Thanks!

16". Considerably shorter than the MR. It's rudders (fin tips) are even more oversized than the MR's.

Here's a link to John Brohm's Estes body tube reference list.
http://www.aeromoe.com/Estes_Body_Tube_List.pdf
It lists the body tube type and lengths for many Estes kits.
I've used this resource more times than I can count for cloning kits.
Thanks John!

16" is wrong.

It's actually 15.927" to the base of the nose cone assembly.

But 16" will work.

I'm bored!

Hmmm, looks like someone borrowed the list from me. This is where John had his lists posted:
