The
material that you want for the
canard is Styrofoam FB. Their part number is 0013770. The material
itself is made by Dow Europe in Switzerland.
EPOXY
This
depends very much on your choice
of epoxy but I have found a good source in Germany for the MGS epoxy
that I use. I started with the 335 series epoxies but have moved to the
285 series. I have always used the slow curing system. My source in
Germany is Lange-Ritter.
FIBERGLASS, PEELPLY, MICROBALLOONS:
I
ordered all my fiberglass, with the
exception of the spar tape, from a company called Gazechim Composites.
Their address is:
GAZECHIM
COMPOSITES
Comptoir
Villparisis

avenu Jean Monnet
ZI

VILLEPARISIS
Their
reference number for the UNI is
92415. Their reference number for the BI is 92125. Their prices are
quite good but only if you purchase entire rolls. A cozy will take 2
or 3 rolls of BI and 2 or 3 rolls of UNI. I also ordered the
peel ply
from them. The references are 1616/100. You can also get a gigantic tub
of microballoons from them. Glass microballoons are called out in the
plans, reference RZ1476 but phenolic are much lighter, reference RZ502.
Unfortunately, the phenolic are incompatible with the MGS epoxies.
The spar tape can be purchased at ATG composites:

The spar tape is so specialized that they do not have a reference number. Instead, you have to order "ruban 75mm, UD, 610g/m"
