Dennis, a couple of questions;
~ Are you planning to use purchased pultruded structural shapes or pultrude your own spar etc?
~ Why do you prefer fiberglass over carbon?

Hi Dave, I am working on something, but not yet convinced the market would be large enough to merit the investment. I have rarely ever seen anything that already exists on the market that is suitable for any of my applications. I always find it necessary to have the item custom made to my specifications.
It's not that I prefer fiberglass over carbon fiber. It's that I use whatever material is required to perform the task. If fiberglass is up to the task, then all the better. It's much less expensive and much easier to cut and work with. Fiberglass also has better frequency dampening characteristics over carbon. But, if carbon fiber is required to obtain the strength and rigidity necessary to achieve the requirement of the item, then I will use carbon fiber without hesitation.
