Default Best Aftermarket Fiberglass Supplier???

Guys,

Stan's fibertech is backed up for three months and I dont want to wait that long to get the parts I need for my Lanier Giant Stinger. Does anyone know of another parts supplier?

I've used Stan's in the past also, but they are backed up as you said. The new owner is working off the backlog created from moving Stan's after he purchased it.

I was in Toledo this weekend and had the chance to look at the quality of Fiberglass Specialties first hand. He's got high quality product from what I saw. I picked up a cowl for my Dynaflight Decathlon while I was there. It was nice to find another supplier for my fiberglass needs

I have been using FS for some time now and everything I have gotten from cowls to canopys has been first rate with A quick turn around, usually at my door in just A few days. My only problem is with the canopys, I like to dye them to A tint and the plastic used won't take the Dye. Other then that it's been perfect work every time.

Im looking for a cowl for my GP Skybolt kit and FS has it but 10.00 shipping to VA. puts it at close to 40.00. Thats a little strong I think. But may be thats the going rate.
