Public Missiles Ltd. exclusive Quantum Tube airframes are the best choice for most sport rocketry applications. QT is very easy to work with and finish, with no spiral grooves to fill. It`s very strong and the best choice for most rocket flying. It is also very forgiving of rough handling and resistant to the impacts of harsh landings. However, QT is NOT a replacement for fiberglassed phenolic; it is simply an easier-to-use material in applications that will not be exposed to transonic or supersonic flight. QT should not be used in minimum diameter applications as the severe heat from the motor casing may adversely affect the airframe.

When to use Quantum Tube:
With any rocket 2.1" through 3.9" that will use an internal motor mount tube and will not fly faster than 0.85 matches. For any rocket 2.1" through 3.9" that may encounter rough handling or hard landings.

Julian B. ★★★★★

Cut a fin slot this weekend and the material stayed clean without any cracking or splintering. The surface took paint beautifully with zero prep work, which is a huge time saver for a build like this.

Nicholas Y. ★★★★★

The lack of spiral grooves on these tubes saved me hours of sanding — the surface came out perfectly smooth with minimal effort. My rocket’s paint job looks professional for the first time.

Michael T. ★★★★★

Cutting this tube was a breeze — the material sands down so smoothly it looks like one solid piece. Feels incredibly sturdy for its weight, and I didn't have to mess with any filler before painting.
