Do I absolutely need "aircraft grade plywood"? (I'm assuming no). I have 1/4"mahogany available up here to me in the bush (Alaska). Can this be used instead?(Yes, I realize the added weight vs. thinner side walls and seats). Surea lot cheaper though! Also, for the gussets I will be getting that from AircraftSpruce & Speacialty (I have no choice), any need to get 45 degree or is90 degree fine? (It would actually seem 90 would be better taking into accountthe angles of the braces[?]). As a side note regarding the 1/4" plywood, Ihave already factored in the filler strips and variances because of the extrathickness by the way (i.e. building them up and lapping over so it's even frontto back, etc.).As far as wing struts and cabane struts, Mike Cuy I need your help specificallyhere as I will be paterning mine directly after yours (same dihedral, +2" onthe centers, and in the end I've decided to go with the three pc. wing as well).I am ordering from Aircraft Spruce. Can you tell me what you ordered andin what length, etc. Do you also have a list of all turnbuckles and hardwareyou used with regard to the struts and cabanes? A lot of this stuff when it comesto hardware is simply Greek to me. I'm trying to ship as much as possiblewith one order because of the high shipping cost.As always to all, your help greatly appreciated.Thanks,StacyThere is only one greater thing than to believe in the impossible...and that isto achieve it -- Stacy Clark________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004 22:27:18 -0700 (PDT)
