You could try a photo resizer like this one I found at CNET. It will do batchjobs or individual files. It is fairly self-explanatory if you play with it fora minute. http://download.cnet.com/windows/3055-2 ... ------Mark ChouinardFinishing up Wings - Working on Center SectionRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Empennage and rib wood questions

Welcome to the list Tom, you will find tons of help and encouragement here fromsome very knowledgeable & friendly people on this list. To answer your question,the wood sizes listed in the Aircraft Spruce and Wicks catalogs (and websites)is the actual size as you order it. 1/4"x1/2" capstrip and 1"x1" longeronstock will arrive at your door milled to those actual dimensions. So now youjust need to figure out how much wood you need for your first order and geton the phone first thing tomorrow so you can start making airplane parts soon!--------Billy McCaskillUrbana, ILtail section almost done, starting on ribs soonRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
