Carbon Tube - Exel Cruise 6mm (5.9/4.0mm)x 1m

Carbon Tube - Exel Cruise 6mm (5.9/4.0mm)x 1m

Value Pack Available!

High quality epoxy resin pultruded Carbon Fibre

Carbon Fibre Tube in a range from 4 to 12mm outsite diameter, larger sizes available on request. Standard lengths 1m and 1.5m Our Carbon Fibre Tube comes in either a pultruded construction, pultruded is a stiff carbon that maintains a degree of flex.

The primary advantage of using carbon tubes for a project, vs. fiberglass or metal, is its high stiffness to weight ratio. Carbon fibre is stiff and very lightweight, making it ideal for rigid frame construction. There is a degree of flexibility to the carbon depending on diameter (small diameter has a lot more flex than large diameter tube)

Pultruded carbon tube, also known as graphite rods or unidirectional carbon fiber tube, are used in many industrial applications and aerospace designs, as well as in hobbies such as RC airplanes and RC sailboats, dual line kites and single line kites, and just about anywhere else you want a stiff, strong rod.

Cutting Carbon - We recommend the easiest and most cost effective way to cut carbon is with a fine tooth junior hacksaw... wrap the carbon with tape, and score the whole circumference with the blade before cutting all the way through. Also wearing eye protection and a dust mask for safety is a good idea!

End Caps

End Caps - Perfect for capping the ends of spars to protect kites or pockets. Suitable for many applications

Soft, pliable cap which fits over the end of a spar to prevent wear and damage to the kite fabric when inserted into a pocket or the nose of a kite.
Sourced from various suppliers depending upon price and availability, therefore colours may vary.

Sold in packs of 10, Price Break packs of 100 available

Nocks / Split End Caps

Assorted rigid caps with end slots. These fittings are glued to the end of a spar, along which the sail is tensioned with cord or bungee at the split end.
These nocks are sourced from various suppliers (Exel, HQ, Dura), therefore the shape may vary
slightly from the image shown.

90° Connector / Leading Edge Connectors

Rubber angled fittings to join a spar to the side of another, most commonly these are aproximately 45 degrees, however some of the older style fittings are 90 degrees. Typically used on the leading edge of sports kites to join the spreaders to the leading edge. Can be used in other aplications for creating angled structures

Spar Grabbers

Either clip on, or slide on, these fittings join a larger cross spar, to a smaller connecting spar. Most commonly used for attaching a stand off (for sail tensioning), to a spreader. Can be used for other applications if required

Sail Grabbers

Either nipple, hook, or folding sail grabbers, used to attach spars directly to the sail cloth. Most commonly used for the stand off to sail connection. Nipple style sail grabbers need a dab of glue to ensure security.

Centre Cross Joint

A "T" shape fitting, allowing three spars to be joined. Two side spars push in and meet at the middle, and one vertical "spine" slides through the offset central hole. Most commonly used for the spine and spreader connection in sport kites

Stopper Clips / C Clips

Hard plastic C-shaped clips which snap onto the spar next to other frame fittings to hold them firmly in the right position. Can be glued in place.

Yo-Yo Stoppers

These fittings clip onto the leading edge of the sports kites and are there to catch the lines during yo-yo/wrap style tricks.
