- There's a magazine for builders of full-sized (real!) airplanes called
- "Kitplanes." They regularly have features on composite building
- techniques. They also have ads from businesses that specialize in
- selling composite products; they also sell how-to books.
-
- Also try your local marine supply shop. Boats are probably the
- largest market for composite materials.
