CliffInstead of having a one ply grain with only one orientation of the grain, stacking plys with grain running in different directions would add strength and limit the possibility of warping.. Same principal as plywood vs regular board. Dick ----- Original Message -----

Hi Glenn,Once again, thank you!I ordered the 1/2 x 1/2 with my capstrip order to do the nose piece; I got 6', sounds like I'll be ordering more ! I was hoping that was what you used as my jig in now finished and that was my last question, for this week.I live in Wisconsin, about an hour and a half from Brodhead and an hour and 15 from Oshkosh. I know, so close to Mecca. The list has been incredible, and the info you have given me is a great example. I have found several builders in my area but have yet to meet any personally. I hope to change that in the near future.No need to apologize for the 4 paragraph answer. I think I'm doing 3 paragraphs to say thank you. I will make my first rib this week and it is exciting to finally get underway. And thanks for the open invitation to ask questions, I know I have many to come.Thanks again Glenn, I'm sure we will meet this summer at either Brodhead or Oshkosh. Also, I'll bet we will e-mail again soon !Jim ----- Original Message -----

I have to disagree, what makes the box beam better is using plywoodthat has grain orientation running 45 degrees with the parallel grain.This puts wood fibers in tension in shear which makes a stronger beam.Can be built lighter and stronger. Lamination of wood have the same strength asa perfect piece of wood that has no flaws.

There would be some waste material howeverthis could be used else where as gussets. Two sides of the box sparone regular grain and one that has all grain with a 45 degree orientation.There would be webbing at spar locations and double width at crossbrace points.--------RussellRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Thanks Jack for saving me the effort of typing up that reply. I whole-heartedlyagree with what you are saying. My aircraft grade spruce has cost me about$1,100 over 6 years. I have more then that in wheels (I have 3 sets, 2 that weretotally inadequate(I was trying to save money using an alternative) and thereal ones on the plane). Its 1/4th the cost of my engine and probably cheaperthen the cost of covering materials. Did I forget to say how much the strutsare going to cost? Some of you need to take a look at the cost of turn bucklesand shackles. You are going to need about 30 turnbuckles and 10 to 15 shackles.Kind of makes the cost of spruce look better.

I think one of the great things about the Piet is the idea that you can use localcomponents and build a safe, reliable and affordable aircraft - sort of likeSt. Bernard did. I know there are some incredible looking Piets out there, I've seen the picturesand I drool. But the truth is that cost is a huge factor for me; so is safetyand so is fun. The ability to find local suppliers helps reduce cost; whypay for shipping across country on anything that I don't have to. If I have tospend the money I'd rather have it on the plane rather than on someone else'struck. Any dollars I can save anywhere can go somewhere else including thegas tank. I don't have a lot of dollars; they are all valuable. In the end I'llprobably just order from ACS or Wicks but honestly it'll be because of mylevel of knowledge about picking out good wood rather than some other reason.I may not build a beautiful Lindy Award Winner like MikeC and others, it may evenbe ugly compared to some of the jewels that I've seen pictures of, but my goalis affordable flight (I know - oxy-moron - or perhaps straight moron [Laughing]).Thanks for the input everyone - this is a great forum for a super aircraft.
