Hi Guys...I am about to order my plywood for the Fuselage. Can someone confirmI have this right please?Floor is 1/4 inch.Instrument panels, seat backs etc and gussets are 1/8 inchFirewall is 1/8 inch although I found some in the Archives used 1/4 inch.I am struggling to find what thickness to use on the side sheets. It looks like7/32 or something on the plan. Its very blurred. Can I use 1/8 or what is itmeant to be?ScottyTamworth, Australiawww.scottyspietenpol.com--------ScottyTamworth, AustraliaBuilding a Corvair Powered Pietenpol Air Camperwww.scottyspietenpol.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 08:35:04 -0400

Stop struggling.It's right there in the middle of Drawing No 1.1/8" plywood 2' x 6'.By the way, the plans actually call for the floor to be 7/32", but 1/4" is morecommonly available.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dwg_ ... ______Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 06:08:50 -0700 (PDT)

Thank you all for your confirmation. I appreciate it!Bill....you are right, one less glass of wine I think, none so blind as one whodoes not wish to see! On sheet 4 it says the floor is 1/4 inch and on sheet onethe blurred dimensions say 7/32. Is it a mistake? Any way 1/4 inch is closeenough to both of them ;o)Im ordering Hoop pine Marine grade ply as that is the Aussie standard here foraircraft.Thanks guys!Scotty--------ScottyTamworth, AustraliaBuilding a Corvair Powered Pietenpol Air Camperwww.scottyspietenpol.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 18:59:10 -0400
