Hi

Are there any model rocket builders on this list?

The reason I ask is I am considering getting some spun fiberglass tubing to 
use as a coil former for a ballast inductor for a pole mount distribution 
transformer. Mcmaster has some 2 1/4" O.D. G-10/FR4 rated at 335 degrees 
Fahrenheit but it only comes in 39" lengths for 104 dollars. I have found 
some model rocket stores on the web which sell airframe tubing for much less. 
One place has some stuff called G-12 for approx. 20 dollars/foot but I cannot 
find any technical data on G-12. 

The magnet wire I have for the coil is rated 200 degrees Celsius, and I would 
like to have my former and spacer material as close to that as possible so I 
can push the limit on current. 

TIA
