I have a circle cutter and make my own out of Monokote or the peel and stick sheets. Lining them up is the tricky part.

Make sure your elevator linkage is robust. I heard these die frequently due to stab flutter.....

Wildo Dan, I tried to peel some of my old ones off, a dead fuse,  but they were not good.
It's the .46 size Al, originally owned by Greg. He flew it at Shearwater last summer. Smiley
