The inside tube will be a BT-20.

It may be hard to glue the BT-20 in without it grabbing on you.

The other cheaper alternative is a standard BT-20 with the tube coupler inside and building up the O.D. of the BT-20 just at the ends where it's glued into it's mating parts.

You could do that with just strips of paper glued on the ends.


Great information, thanks.

Could you measure the length of your tube for me? I've read it's 9.25" but wanted to confirm. It's kind of a critical measurement in order for the rotors to release properly.
