Hello everybody. I have purchased a roll of carbon fiber from a friend of mine , and would like to know if anybody has a good way to find out the weight of...
If you paid less than a couple thousand for that roll, you got a DAMN good deal... Carbon, especially in the heavier weights you're talking about is at least...
Yeah , I got a good deal. I should be in carbon fiber for a little while , maybe a week or two!!!! I think this might be a good start for my full scale...

Hey Mick, His airframes are pretty good quality. The material appears to be of plain weave for the carbon tubes. Can't tell the weight but I can weigh one of...
Hi Mick, I bought a 1/4 Nick Smoke made by Curtis as well. I loved it. Very light and put on a great first and last flight with a Loki I-405. It went together...
