Hi Pieters,Does anyone have Jim Corder's phone number (of Hegy prop fame)? I've found severalold references on the 'net that sounds like he moved from Marfa to somewhereelse, & I can't find a current email address or phone number.Have a beautiful 72 x 42 Hegy on the A-75, turns 2150-2200 on climbout and topsout at 2400, so this prop is better suited for the A-65. I'd like to get therpm's up around 2400-2500 on climbout so it will run like the A-75 that it is.Thanks in advance,Dave MordecaiPanacea, FLNX520SFHi Pieters,Does anyone have Jim Corder's phone number (of Hegy prop fame)?

Pietenpol-List: Looking for wood

To everything that Jack said about Doug fir, I can wholeheartedly agree except the smell. I like the smell of it except when you put it on the sander and burn it. And I had access to a planer to work it to the dimension I needed so that was not an issue. I will also add that the grain layers (or whatever you want to call them) alternate very drastically between the hard growth ring and the softer material in between, so when you drill a hole through it the bit tends to want to follow the grain and not your intended line. It's hard to drill a straight, clean hole with a small diameter bit when you're not drilling perpendicular to the growth rings (as if you were drilling right into a tree trunk, if you get my drift).And you would think that a company with the name "Aircraft Spruce" would highlight their service in that product! Over on the KRNet, many have said that they prefer to work with Wicks for wood. And if you're in the PacNW there are a few more sources that aren't readily available to others, unless you can reduce the shipping cost. I've heard that Edensaw ( http://www.edensaw.com/ ) is a good one but I have not dealt with them personally.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________Get FREE company branded e-mail accounts and business Web site from Microsoft Office Live http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/mcrssaub005 ... __________

You can build a light airplane withfir if you avoid too many additions and "improvements" and watch the number of coats on the fabric. Mine has been flying since 95.
