Can you tell me where he obtains his carbon filament material, and how much
it costs?  What equipment does he use for winding?

I didn't mean to imply this would be desirable.  Obviously, if I'm going
to do it, I want the least regulation possible.  If your interpretation

airplane model is also not a model rocket?  Gee, that sounds like fun!!!
