RE: Milled Fiberglass to Hysol?
I take any scraps of fiberglass and carbon I have left over and put them in a jar. I then stick shears in the jar and chop them up into fibers, maybe 3/8 inch long. I mix this with 9460 F. Use it to mount formers and such, works great
BTW I THINK you can buy this stuff at auto body supply places, like "kitty hair" or something like that (rimshot)

On a serious note, you can buy chopped glass and kevlar fibers ("kevlar pulp") from multiple sources, I bought a couple quart-sized bags of each from Fibreglast years ago and am still using them. Like Matt, I also keep all my scrap carbon cloth bits and use scissors to cut them into 1/32" and 1/16" length bits...a little goes a long way. The Kevlar pulp in particular is great for internal reinforcements on gear formers and rail joints.
I've tested the Hysol/Kevlar mix to Mach 2.1 succesfully....

I couldn't resist. it's been a long day of waiting for my flights at dfw and phoenix sky harbor terminals. fun fun fun.......not
barry's serious about the 2.1 mach thing. he's built a couple of rockets that have attained altitudes in excess of 20,000' pretty cool stuff fo'show considering he built it in his garage. post some pix you little weirdo!!!
cheers

a bit off subject, had to make an unplanned trip to Cinci today myself - 5 hrs getting there, 1 hr mtg, 6 hrs back ...[:@] since you asked... this beast weighs 102 lbs at launch, fuse tubing is 6" spiral wound S-glass fiber, fins are 1/4" nomex honeycomb core with 3 layers of 5oz CF cloth bonded with 9462 mixed with kevlar pulp and several layers of kevlar and glass cloth on top of the joints. Max altitude so far is 68'K, max speed just over 2.1m around 45'K (coasts on up to max altitude). two flight computers onboard with 2 (backup) baro altimeters, 900 mhz telemetry with realtime GPS and video downlink, and two backup 219mhz tracking beacons... what I do when it's too hot/dry to fly turbines around here.

The thixotrypic (sp? fancy word value=$1.25) Hysol already has some filler in it, though I don't know what it is.
If you're going to mix in a filler, I'd start with a regular laminating resin like West. I did this with some chopped carbon fiber and man, was that stuff tough! I bought the bulk (1 pound) from CST sales and I don't remember it being expensive. By the way, 1 pound should last you a life time of RC airplane work...

There has to be an old Glascat somewhere we can cannibalize.

We could chop up a merkin. There has to be an old Glascat somewhere we can cannibalize.

since you asked... this beast weighs 102 lbs at launch, fuse tubing is 6" spiral wound S-glass fiber, fins are 1/4" nomex honeycomb core with 3 layers of 5oz CF cloth bonded with 9462 mixed with kevlar pulp and several layers of kevlar and glass cloth on top of the joints. Max altitude so far is 68'K, max speed just over 2.1m around 45'K (coasts on up to max altitude). two flight computers onboard with 2 (backup) baro altimeters, 900 mhz telemetry with realtime GPS and video downlink, and two backup 219mhz tracking beacons... what I do when it's too hot/dry to fly turbines around here.
