Graphite Framing Materials

Graphite is an excellent framing material for both kites and airplane models. It's strength to weight ratio gives it a clear advantage for building strong, lightweight flying structures. It is available in many forms for different applications. It can easily be glued to balsa wood with CA glue, creating a superb bond. It is relatively stiff in comparison with comparably sized fiberglass. In applications where a large amount of bend is required, fiberglass may be a better choice, however, fiberglass does weigh more.
