: Joe & All,
: Do any of you know what process Walt went through to make these ferrules?
: What weight & weave of fabric did he use? Fiberglass, carbon, or Kevlar?
: What pattern did he layup? How many layers? What dimensions (i.d., o.d, wall
: thickness, length)? Did he use a mold? What kind?

The dimensions of my commercial carbon-fiber ferule are as follows:

OD = 1.268"
ID = 0.992"
OD of plug = 1.118"
OAL of plug end = 7.75", plug only = 3.75"
OAL of socket end = 6"
Feather adjustment holes are .369", centers located 2.5" from the end, set at 0*, +/- 60*

Can't tell about cloth weight, seems to be spiral-wrapped out of .875" wide flat filament, and machined after layup. Hope this helps.

: I've been searching for websites that would have this kind of info. The
: closest I have come are model rocketry sites.

: I'd like to attempt a few of these before the R2K1 Rendezvous at Port
: Townsend.
