Hi everyone,I am needing to order some capstrips and according to the plans it needs to be1/2"x1/4". I looked on Aircraft Spruce's website and I called them, but they don'tcarry any capstrips that size. I would appreciate some input on where I shouldorder from and how I could get the correct size. Thanks!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Beautiful! Even though the prop shape is new technology, it makes everything lookeven more like an Antique Classic. It is definitely a Classic. The panelsare beautiful, as well as all the other little touches you have done. How muchwork is it going to be to keep the brass shiny on the radiator? I had decidedshortly after I ordered my plans, I had to have the big wheels. ThoughtI wanted spokes, but I'm not sure after seeing your photos. It really looks goodnow. I'm definitely envious.--------Long flights, smooth air, and soft landings,GliderMike, aka Mike GlasgowRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Spruce?

Capstrip shouldn't take too long to receive. I ordered 108-5' lengths (540 feet) of 1/4" x 1/2" capstrip and 2-6' lengths (12feet) of 1/2" x 1/2" capstrip in order to build my 3-piece wing. It workedout just about right. Not more than a stick or two (and a nice bundle of scraps)left over.I can't remember how much ply I ordered. Maybe a full sheet (48" x 48")? Notsure, but it wouldn't hurt to just grab two of those anyhow... if it is too muchfor the ribs, you'll use it somewhere else. Also, I'm not sure what type/sizeof adhesives you prefer, but I just killed my first batch of T-88 (Quart size)on my wings. Mileage may vary, but I would recommend the quart size... itis quite a bit cheaper than buying two pint sized batches and whether it ishot or cold in your shop, it seems to have a good shelf life.--------Mark - working on wingsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
