Description

Quasi-isotropic solid carbon fiber sheets are a tough and rigid carbon reinforced epoxy matrix composed of multiple layers of woven carbon fiber fabric without any core material. Quasi-isotropic sheets utilize balanced and symmetrical lay-up schedules of 90 degree and 45 degree fabric.

Strength Notes

Standard 33MSI

Advantages

Is lighter than G10 and significantly stronger – especially as a 0.375” plate

Disadvantages

• Expensive
• Forming the fins to an exact aerodynamic profile is ‘nearly’ impossible.
• Limited ‘bevels’ can be cut using a table saw – but it is a dangerous process that is prone to inconsistencies, especially at this scale/size.
