Greg, Do you still have the article from Sport Aviation 1961 by Paul Bestabout I-beam spars vs. solid spars? If you do are you able to e-mail it tome? I understand it had some pictures?Kent HallstenOklahoma City________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2002 11:45:56 -0500

Greg, Received the article this weekend, thank you. After reading itover, it seems that I-beam spars are a good way to get a spar, but I noticedthat the I-beam becomes thicker than the solid spar for the same strength.Since I have the spar opening on my ribs set at 3/4" , it looks like I'llneed to go with a solid spar.
