Balsa Bulkheads
Solid balsa wood bulkheads, also known as balsa nose blocks or tube connectors are used to make payload bays for model rockets. They block off the air flowing through the tube, protecting the delicate payload from the heat of the ejection charge. All you need is a screw eye to attach the shock cord or parachute, and you're ready to go.

Tube Couplers For Large Diameter Rockets

Want to make your own long rockets from the LOC Precision body tubes? You'll need a tube coupler to splice the tubes together and join them to make a long tube. These are from ordinary kraft paper, so they are easy to work with and are a lot cheaper than couplers from exotic materials.

Tube Couplers for High Power Rockets

Blue Couplers - To go along with the Blue Tubes, here are the couplers that can join them together to make longer rockets. These will also fit the standard size LOC tubes, and those other high power manufacturers that make the tubes to standard sizes.
