Carbon fibers arrived

Yesterday there was two big boxes at my front door when I came home. The carbon fiber supplier had shipped the stuff really quick.

Of couse I had to open the boxes to check out the stuff. One roll of weave and one roll of uni, both 100cm wide. This is 400gsm so it is pretty stiff stuff. Wonder how it will be to work with.. Need to be very thorough with the wetting out.

Carbon fibers

We managed to strike a good deal on carbon fibers locally. 36kgs of carbon weave and unidirectionals are on their way. The retail price of 36kgs of high modulus carbon is horrendous, but with the deal we got we can afford to do foils, beams, rudder system and spi poles in carbon. That is good as we need to save all the weight we can if we are to hit min weight.
