Hi,

Wood really is the material of choice for riggers. Some are made of Fiberglass, but they are rare and do require additional FG techniques knowledge on top of the tech knowledge already required to build a good rigger. See this article for a step by step build of a wood outrigger...should give you some ideas. www.modelgasboats.com/Magazine...d_an_Outrigger/
