Hi all,Gordon has some sitka spruce available pretty near to me. Anyone out therehave any opinions or experience/advice about splicing fuselage longerons? Iread in the EAA wood book that some designs call for laminating up thelongerons, and It looks like a 16:1 scarf might work. What do you think?Ben----- Original Message -----

Ben,The longerons on NX18235 are spliced. Uppers are spliced in the cockpit area and the lowers are spliced aft. Splices were located where the longerons curve the least. The splices have a slope of 12:1.Greg CardinalMinneapolis> Charvet" >> Hi all,>> Gordon has some sitka spruce available > pretty near to me.
