I was wondering if anyone here has any specific knowledge about the use of carbon fiber and/or first hand experience with it and if so any useful links they may have to offer. BTW I can google with the best of them so please only offer sites YOU have previously used and/or found to be helpful/good.

Thank you for your support

you can learn a lot by looking at kit airplane magazine, there are ads in the back on sources for doing hand layup and vacuum bagging supplies.

Check to see if there are any racecar builders in your area. They typically use a lot of CF. A friend of mine works with it all the time at the shop where he works.
