Motor tube for CTI 150mm motors

I was messing around in openrocket today and noticed that the O8000 motor does not fit inside standard 6” tubes from wildman or Madcow. This is for anyone who was used 150mm motors before, where did you find motor tubes that 150mm motors would fit inside?

All of my Rockets

Hi y'all, I'm a part of the Spring Grove rocket team from Pennsylvania, and I'd like to share all of the rockets my team and I have made.

These 2 rockets are the first rockets my team and I have made. We made these back in 2022, our 8th-grade year, for The American Rocketry Challenge (TARC).

This is my level 1 rocket. It is a LOC IV kit that I made in 2022, and I used it to get my level 1 in 2023.

This is my team's deployable payload rocket that we made for the Battle of the Rockets (BOTR) freshman year. It's a BT80 cardboard rocket that deploys the payload inside a capsule at apogee. The payload relayed telemetry from a ground station to our laptop.

This is my team's first fiberglass rocket, built for NYPower 2023. It is 6' long and BT80. It flew on a J410 up to 5,281'.

Here I am holding our NASA Student Launch (SLI) subscale rocket. It is scaled down 25% from our official SLI rocket. It also flew on a J410.

This is our full-scale SLI rocket. It is a 12-foot-tall, 28-pound, 4\" diameter rocket that flew on a K820 down in Alabama. This rocket went 4,000 feet. It is called Papa T.A.T.E and carries its payload, T.A.T.E (Temperature Across Time Experiment). The objective of T.A.T.E was to see how paint color affected the internal temperature of the rocket. We did SLI in our sophomore year.

This is our rocket called Brutus that competed in the Mars Rover event in BOTR a week ago. It is 6\" in diameter, 11' long, and weighs 45 pounds. It flew on a K1200 to 1200'. This is our final rocket we will build in high school.

Unfortunately, Brutus had a motor failure on its second flight, and we lost the back half. We are currently rebuilding the back half and would like to launch Brutus on an even more powerful motor at NYPower in May.

Thanks for reading this and learning about all of my rockets. I'll post links to my team's website and Facebook if y'all would like to learn more:
