Subject: Pietenpol-List: Fuselage sidesIs it okay to splice the fuselage side plywood at an upright? I purchased some 4x4' pieces of ply from McCormicks -- they didn't have any 4x8' sheets. Ifit's not a good idea that's okay as I'll use the 4x4' pieces for gussets, etc.Just wondering...Fred B.

I did. I butted mine together on top of a diagonal or upright. Glued a correspondingstrip of 1 1/2 inch plywood over the butt joint and seems to work ok.If it's under the fabric nobody sees it. And the glued area doing it thisway is as good or better than the scarf.My opinion. Bert----- Original Message -----
