I used 1/16" ply from Balsa USA. I used to order from them when I was heavyinto RC airplanes/helicopters. I bought 6 sheets of 12x48 for $55. It isvery tight ply. I then cut it on a table saw with a thin plywood blade.I cut the sheets down into 1" strips. I then cut 3 lengths from thestrips.... small 1" squares, 2" rectangles, and 4" rectangles. I threwthem all in a bucket and pull them as needed.Also, I cut "kits" for my ribs. Basically I cut and sanded each piece andassigned it a number. 1-17. I spent an entire day doing this. When Imake a new rib I just pull a set of 1-17. Thi saves ALOT of time. beforewhen I would build a rib and cut as needed for that rib it would take about2 hours for a complete rib... now thats down to about 40 minutes.DJ VeghMesa, AZGN-1 Builderwww.raptoronline.comN74DV________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 05 Mar 2002 09:18:49 -0600
