Carbon rods may be cheap at HK, but shipping is a killer. Carbon rods are shipped from HK only through EMS.

ok My bad. dint check about shipping.

If the required length is only 30 to 40 cm you can use Barbecue (BBQ) sticks. We get 3 mm 40 cm and 5 mm 50 cm long.

Hi All,
i have not use carbon fiber rods yet, but i too need some 3mm rods to reinforce my blu baby wings. i know the alternate can be bamboo sticks. have any one tried soft broom stick or cracker rocket stick ( stick the comes with cracker). can this be an alternate for carbon fiber rods. i'm not sure about the strength.

Try kebab sticks.

I don't have much idea on aeromodelling or CF rods, but these days I find a lot of new products like square plastic beadings (used in plywood funiture). Square beading ( hollow & solid) of all sizes like 6mm, 8mm, 10mm & 12mm. A 6mm sq. pipe weighs as light as bamboo stick of the same span.  A 12 feet sq. pipe (6mm) costs Rs. 15/-

Does anyone know if 1mm  rod could be sanded down to  0.8 or 0.5.mm

no idea about sanding ... but carbon dust is hazardous .. put a cloth (wet) over your face while sanding.


also the core of optical fiber cables (some ) is very high quality and thin fiber glass rod . you can get it free if you look around.
