I haven'tlooked at the AC Spruce catalog to lay out the least expensivecombination to get at least 3/8 in the web.________________|_______________|| | | || | | || | | || | | || | | ||______| |______| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ____| | | |____| | | || | | || | | || | | || | | ||______|_|______||_______________|1 - Ash cap 1/4 x 1 top and bottom2 - Spruce 7/16 x 1 1/2 top2 - Spruce 7/16 x 1 bottom3 - AC Birch ply 1/8 inch layers in the web one of which extends tothe capsI'm not entirely happy with the top and bottom of the web. Where 3/8goes to 1/8 should have some spruce overlapping.I laid it out this way to minimize amount of AC BIrch Ply and cost,but I think that the 3/8 ought to go all the way to the caps.I still have the fuse on the work table, so I have a little more timeto think it through.Mike "Wayne Sippola" To: Sent by: cc: owner-pietenpol-list-server@mat Subject:Re: Pietenpol-List: spar weight ronics.com 02/06/2001 01:32 PM Please respond to pietenpol-listSpars were 13' long for use with a 36" center section.
