Default Best sources for carbon fiber?

I need to find a source for carbon fiber. A friend recommended Hobby Lobby, but I'm specifically looking for a 14mm tube at least 450mm long so I can replace a broken wing joiner tube. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help!

There are several outfits that sell carbon tubes, I specifically don't know what sizes they offer but here's a few links.

I second CST http://www.cstsales.com/ they are usually at the RC trade shows with great specials on Carbon Pushrod stock, a buck each last time I was there. Great people and they seem to mostly cater to RC people but I am sure they dabble in all Composites.
