Here is a list of companies that sell small amounts of prepreg carbon fiber and other interesting composites. They are not my regular vendors, but they are all well established (20+ yrs) and sources for my personal model airplanes.

Model Research Labs

Dave Brown Products

Bussiness with a greater inventory and higher prices (But are still small amount suppiers)

Aerospace Composite Products

CST-The Composites Store, Inc.

(I think CST will be the most helpful for most FIRST teams)

Another valuable source of information is the "National Free Flight Society", They publish a Symposium every year, many of the authors are aerospace engineers and they have published many articles that can be applied to FIRST

I hope this helps out, I'll post more later
