Greetings from a lurker!I'm currently building a Kolb SlingShot and finishing the wings on aPober Super Ace but if I was now at my starting point, it would bestarting an Air Camper. Regardless, I'll be ordering the plans soon.Maybe I can start on the Air Camper before the wife finds out. (naw,she won't notice THREE airplanes in the basement)Anyway, I have a question regarding wood, particularly the use ofSitka Spruce. I realize it's a great wood but what are the woodalternatives? Select Sitka is currently about $16 a board foot.Compare that with Select White Pine at about $3.Just curious to know if this has been already addressed.Robert HainesMurphysboro, Illinois________________________________________________________________________________
