Thanks to Jerry and Doug for the advice. I should be able to source some suitable high tensile machine screws locally. It sure feels good to have made a start.cheers Rod W.West Aussie________________________________________________________________________________

I am using Douglas Fir (known as Oregon over here)as spruce is impossible to find in Western Australia.Wing ribs are a long way off as I intend to finish the tail feathers first and then make a start on the fuselage.When it comes to the spars and ribs I will probably get some Hoop Pine sent over from Queensland.Rod W.>From: Dmott9(at)aol.com>Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: re-hinges>Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2001 20:53:21 EDT>>>In a message dated 4/21/01 7:20:06 AM Eastern Daylight Time,>rodwooller(at)hotmail.com writes:>> suitable high tensile machine screws locally.

Doug Fir will make beautiful spars and ribs. I have all the ribs done, wing center section, all spars, all tail surfaces, and fuselage all framed including seats.All I am working on now is the fittings (steel Work).
