Burke If you will send me a mail address, I will send you 5 or 10 ft of tow. It is about 1/4 inch wide, and I have used it in spars for both FF and Sailplanes. Also strengthens the corners of a balsa fuselage,repairs, etc., etc. I have no idea what is really is size wise.Sufficient is a good word. It can be attached with thin CA or epoxy.
