Try "DragonPlate". That's where I get most of my CF laminate.

Dave Brown Products used to sell that sort of stuff. I've seen CF extrusions (rod and flatbar) in the LHS. Not sure it was K&S, but it was near the K&S rack of tubing, rod, sheet brass, etc. Otherwise, I'd look at CST or Tap Plastics websites and see if they have it.   H^^ Steve

Edit: Dave Brown Products sold everything except the spinners & adapters to Ohio Superstar Products last year. I can't believe they didn't tell me! The CF tape is still available, but apparently not in multiple thicknesses. You start at the end and snap it to the correct width, then keep it going down the length you need. Use CA to glue it, not epoxy, of course.  http://www.ohio-superstar.com/dave-brown-product-line/carbon-fiber-strip

If you glue a strip of that down both sides of a profile fuselage it stiffens it tremendously. Rough it up with some 220 grit.
