Because raw spools are going straight to the aerospace manufacturers due to recent booms in new jet orders both military and commercial. Weavers are in the dog house for 06'. Trust me when i say, $hit is about to change really fast. Raw spool production is being completely sucked up by them. The CF industry was not doing well until recent aircraft orders from europe in particular. So that is why the aftermarket was flooded with CF parts. 2X2 Twill cannot be found in more than 5 yard rolls and no less than $50 per yard. This crisis (and it is a crisis for the commercial sector) has been creeping up but finally became reality in January. Fun time is over. You will be seeing the $1,000 CF hoods again.
