G10 Fiberglass

[AKPilot]

If I want to replace balsa with fiberglass, for fins, where can I buy some G10 fiberglass?

Keyword G10.

I made my own using instructions from this site.

There is an article about composites.

I am very happy with the results. I haven't actually cut the sheet into fins yet but I am planning on making a mid-power rocket using this material for fins.

ASP Rocketry carries G10 sheets - https://www.asp-rocketry.com/buildingmaterials.html

They also have precut fins for LPR (scroll to the bottom)- https://www.asp-rocketry.com/components.html

I would reccomend www.mcmaster.com. I have bought from them with great service.

Or if you want to support a rocketry vendor Commonwealth stocks various sizes of G10 fiberglass. Just scroll down on the left and click on fin stock. They have some competative prices and ship very quickly.
