Default Anybody know companies that produce fiberglass and ABS parts for cowls?

Hi,

I am designing a 60 sized Skyraider Kit. Does anybody know people that can manufacture the nose cowlings and wing cowlings for me in fiberglass? Also, what is the cost for this? I have made mold before and I know how to make them and I have cast fiberglass before, but just didn't get great results.

Also, would it be cheaper to have these made of ABS vacuum formed? I presume so. Does anybody know of manufacturers that produce these ABS cowls? what is the price range?

Why do people prefer fiberglass over ABS? I never had any issues with my ABS Cowls, although they seem a bit heavier.
