Ok fellows, I've lost my marbles.Somewhere in my stack of stuff I've got an article about testing wood grain directionwith india ink. I can't remember which publication it's in: Sport AviationTips, Wood, etc.I've got a chance to purchase some Sitka here in Maine (been at the lumberyardfor about a year, having been brought in from the West Coast on special orderfor another customer) for $8 per foot (full 2"x6"). VERY straight grain, withrings averaging 21 per inch (low 18 rpi, high 30 rpi) throughout the full sixinch width.Do any of you guys remember this article--maybe from Forest Products Lab publication,AC 43.13, etc.?Thanx,Alan________________________________________________________________________________

Walt,I have heard about using heavy duty casters before. So you just used a off theshelf caster? Any wisdom on selection one? Or did you just grab whatever theyhad. How's it holding up? Do you land on grass or pavement? I'll be landingon pavement. I have heard that if built to the plans the tubing might bend. I think it was Steve Eldrige who also had this happen. I think he recommendedincreasing the size of the down tubes. Pictures would be great.Chris TracySacramento, Ca----- Original Message -----
