I'm not to hip on the carbon fiber. It seems like the stuff will cost a fortune and I will only use a small fraction of it. Leaving a buch left over...

PS does any one know the specific part number for the recommended large dubro hinges and do I just do the tail section and use the stock ca hinges on the ailerons or do I put the pinned hinges in the ailerons too?
CF strips for this purpose are cheap (only a few doillars) and are concealed inside the wing(joiner) when done. Done with CF, no need to glass anything.
As for the Dubro HD hinges, go to Tower Hobbies and do a 'search' on them. They offer 2 sizes, use the larger HD ones on the Rudder & Elevator halves. Vibration will eventually mess up CA style hinges back there. It's only a matter of time.
