Default Goony Bash - Baby Bertha tube length?

After looking through Phred's site at Excelsior Rocketry and being inspired by all of the interesting "Goony" designs, I decided to start noodlin'. Sure enough, I've got a PNC-60MS sitting in my spare parts bin that I've never figured out what to do with.

I've got a design worked up, and had the gracious assistance of Craig McGraw help with RockSim-ing it. In the interest of sharing this design and making it able to be built using mostly Baby Bertha parts, I had one question;

What's the original BT-60 main body tube length in this kit?

Thanks,
EV

P.S. - Craig, please don't put the RockSim file up just yet. I want to build it first before I show it off.

Coming out of the States? Like we are somehow responsible for the majority of it? Ha. I don't think it's even possible to get good statistics.
