Default Where to buy fiberglass fuselages??

Hey guys,
anyone know a place that carries different sizes of fiberglass fuselages?
Or, that can custom make one?
Appreciate any info!
Thanks,
Pud

Default Well, it's a 'sorta "homebrew"......

I just got a set of 7037 airfoiled,obeechi sheeted, two meter wings.
Got the stabs , have been trying to find a suitable fuse.
It will be a "full house" set-up, four servo's in the wing.
Hoping it will be a nice all around two-meter,has enough wing area(I think around 690sq's) to be ok as a thermaller, and might be a good sloper---MAYBE

I like to experiment a little, will have to see how it works out!

Default Hmmm--Not sure about Bob Sealy's address..

Well, I fired off an email to Bob S. last night....it promptly returned as a "failed" delivery.
Tried again this AM, will have to see if I get a response.
I checked out NSP's website, didn't REALLY seem to have what I am looking for.
Still hoping...........

Pud,
Here's the link to Bob's site: http://www.ucrcs.com/quality.htm
I bought some stuff from him last summer,and he was going strong, and his site is still up.

You might also try Mark Kummerow, he makes a great 2M fuse.
It's for a plane called the Searcher. Here's the link: http://www.cafes.net/kummerow/ Mark's planes fly great.

I don't know what could have happened to Qualty Fiberglass ,I guess I'll call Bob and check.

Default THANKS FOR THE HELP!!

Really appreciate the help guys!

Ripflys, the email I sent to Bob S. this afternoon seems to have went out OK, will wait to see if I hear back.
All else fails, guess I could try an old fashioned phone call to him tomorrow.

I'm sure I will get a fuse from someone, thanks again!
