Next step is to cut carbon tubes and rods into smaller pieces, which will be used as spars, joiners or 
boom support of the plane. Don't forget to mark name on every piece to avoid confusion during the 
assembly.

TIP: How to cut carbon spars. Wrap masking tape
around carbon spar and mark cut position. Use rotary
tool or X-ACTO fine saw to cut the spar.  Work
outside or in room with good ventilation. Use
breathing mask to avoid inhaling carbon dust! After
cutting wipe out carbon dust from the spars using wet
tissue.
