YARDLEY, Pennsylvania USA — Hawk Mountain Enterprises will be relocating at the end of this month to a new location and is offering 30% off all of their filament wound fiberglass airframe tubing and couplers.  Rather than shipping their entire tubing inventory to New Hampshire, they decided to offer it to you at a discount.

Alan Gorecki of Hawk Mountain indicated this week that the company will move to Litchfield, New Hampshire on June 30th, so the last day they will be accepting orders will be June 15th for orders that require machining, and June 22nd for all other orders.  Gorecki stated that he expected to be down for about one month to get set up in their new location. The sale will go through June 30th, or until supplies run out.

All Hawk Mountain filament wound fiberglass airframe tubing and couplers are on sale.

As soon as he has new telephone numbers, Gorecki said he would post them on the Hawk Mountain web site, but in the interim, customers could reach him on his cell phone at (215) 816-0204 if they couldn't get through on the company's business line, or they can always reach him via email at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .

Gorecki wanted to remind customers that during their down time, they could order Hawk Mountain tubing from Giant Leap Rocketry or Wildman Rocketry, but if you have a need for filament wound fiberglass tubing, now is the time to take advantaged of Hawk Mountain's 30% off moving sale.

According to their web site, "Hawk Mountain filament wound fiberglass airframe tubes are the strongest airframes money can buy, next to metallic tubing. This airframe material is so strong, you can stand on it. When you use materials of this strength to build your rocket, it greatly increases the survivability during normal flight stresses, and otherwise."

Recently, Hawk Mountain decreased the filament winding angle of their 3 inch, 4 inch and 6 inch tubing from 60 degrees to 40 degrees. The tighter winding angle results in a stronger tube. On their 4 inch "Extreme II" tubing, it not only has the 40 degree winding angle but includes a thicker wall thickness. This is designed for fliers that plan on using "N" motors in minimum diameter rocket projects.
