Carbon fiber tubes

[Andrew Greenberg]

Hi Evan!

Yes, we're planning on a slightly larger diameter tubing for LV3, but I
don't think we'll be doing 9" (!). We'll see, the requirements are in
flux right now and we're trying to vaguely intelligently set them.

Thanks for the sleeving info, I'll pass that along to the group!

Andrew

Andrew,
It appears PSAS is considering making large diameter (~9") carbon fiber
airframes? You might want to know about a company that produces raw
carbon fiber sleeves (no resin) in diameters up to
24": http://www.sollercomposites.com/composites/carbon%20fiber%20sleeves.html
They also have some tips for making hollow cylindrical objects with the
sleeves: http://www.sollercomposites.com/MakingShafts.html
