Hi TC designers, I need to design some 2D parts that will get CNC cut out of carbon fiber. I have done it in the past with SolidWorks and got the parts made by FibreLite. A very rewarding experience that I want to reconduct. Back then I was a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association (I have a few hobbies...) and I would get some sort of a student version for free that I could use as long as I was not making money etc. I just want to build the parts for myself. Now, they changed the deal with EAA and long story short is I need to fork the full 100$ per year to get that student license back. Since I will only be designing that one part for my M-05 this year, the 100$ fee is a little steep. What is everyone using for CAD? Again this is for 2D carbon fiber, not 3D printing. Feel free to PM me if that is more appropriate. Thanks!

Hi guys, I am building a Bigwig shelf queen, and would like to replace all yellow and blue parts with either carbon, alloy, or at least black plastic. That would be the cockpit cage, the damper towers, the uprights, and the exhausts. Does anyone have a tip where I could find such parts?

As above looking for any spare parts for the Corally SP12M. Let me know what you have. Thanks James
