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!

Safety Always read and follow the instructions with your kite before attempting to assemble or fly it. Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended wind range, and only fly in light, steady winds until fully competent. Strong, gusty conditions cause kites to fly faster, pull harder and become unstable and difficult to control. This may result in line breakage, crashes and damage to your kite. The internationally recognised Beaufort Scale below gives a general guide for kite fliers. All prices and technical information are subject to change. Recommendations for wind range and flying lines are given as a guide only. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained, we cannot be held responsible for anything as a result of errors or omissions. Never fly near power lines, roads, buildings, railways or hazardous terrain Never fly in stormy weather or a thunderstorm Never fly within 5km (3 miles) of an airport Never fly a kite higher than 60m (200 feet) Never steer a kite at animals, humans or objects Always act with consideration for others and the environment around you
