get a 40% coupon and go to hobby lobby, they usually have the 28'' guillows p40. It should cost about $25-30 for the kit

lol the Guilows kit was too deer but you got tons of CF stringers lying around?
I'm just playing but that would bee cool and I bet you could to 1/2a as many because CF is so much more rigid than balsa.
