Subject: Pietenpol-List: Aghh, so close...Hello. I am new in list and have a lot of questions (I am from Argentina, so, sorryabout my english). I just bought Hemlock to start building (that is whatwe use among others) but it is just 141" long. If I plan to do 3/4" solids spars(one piece wing) with a 1:12 slope, can I just add a plywood on each sideof the spar end (filled with hemlock) to extend it to the needed lenght (3" or4") and attach the wing tip to it? I know it is a compression member, couldthat be a problem? Should I laminate my spars? What you, experienced people recommendme? thank you very much. Santiago Hi Mike C. I am still enjoying your video!! ---------------------------------Cmo uss el correo electrnico?Qu penss del spam y de los virus?Clic aqu________________________________________________________________________________

Santiago,You might be better off just trimming a few inches off of the span. I am surethat Bernard chose the span as a matter of convenience rather than necessity.Chris ----- Original Message -----

Just use your best judgement... you could eithera) decrease the 12:1 scarf angleb) add ("scab" on) at the spars near the wing tips whatever amount you need togive you your desired wingspanc) reduce your wingspanAny of those options are OK in my opinion.If it were me, I would reduce the 12:1 scarf angle and scab heavily in the centersection.But that's just me! :)Whatever you do will work just fine, I betBC ----- Original Message -----
