General Discussion

is there a source for fibreglass fin panels?  Need enough panel for 10 sets of glassed on side bites of a specific design not commercially available.

any source pointing appreciated.

Ridout Plastics, in San Diego.         Fins Unlimited may sell you a panel too.

How big are your bites? Color matter?

I have a bunch of fiberglass stock that might fit you fins.

I was looking for panels for twinzer canards. Fins Unlimited quoted me what worked out to be about $10/fin. I thought it was kind of high so I passed. 

I have some 5 x 5 x 0.25" G10 if you’re interested. You can easily get 2 side bites out of them. PM if you’re interested.

thans for the tip, Bill, and thanks guys for the generous offer.  

sidebites are clones of a Skip Frye sidebite, about 3.5 x 3.7, lot of rake with broad tip.

Hope to score a panel sufficent large enough from which we can cut uniform blanks to ‘production’ shape on the table scroll saw and combo sander in one itchy go.
