I am planning on building a cat.1 CLG & am interested in carbon fiber information. I have received some good advice on this subject in the past & am now ready to begin construction so here are some specific questions.
I have seen .002" thick unidirectional carbon fiber sheet shown on glider plans, but cannot find a source. Where can this be obtained?
It appears that unidirectional carbon fiber sheet is easier to use that carbon fiber tow. I cannot figure out how to separate a thin strip of fiber of consistent width from the tow. Am I missing something?
What is carbon fiber tissue & can it be cut in narrow strips? At 0.2 Oz/Sq.Yd. it seems quite light. Would it be useful widths in glider construction?
I have read about "Russian unidirectional carbon cloth" but am not clear on what it is & how it it is used in gliders. Also, is it available in the USA?
Thanks,
Gary
