Default Who is a good source for carbon fiber?

I am building a Byron C. Eagle and want to reinforce certain areas but am not sure who is selling it. I need 2-3" wide strips as well as thin strips for around the vertical and horizontal tail surfaces.
I assume this stuff attaches well with epoxy??

Thanks for any referral & tip you can share.

I would also recommend Art's Hobby. His website is http://www.arts-hobby.com/

He carries all kinds of composites and is very knowledgeable about how they can be used to improve the strength to weight ration of a plane.

Art's hobby for sure.....very cool people. They shipped my order, I had it in 2 days. Biggest selection I've seen of all types of composites. http://www.arts-hobby.com/

Just have a look into, you'll see what I mean. They seem to have all those space age material.
