Michael, I don't know where you got the figure of $0.53 per foot for 1/2 X 1/4 capstrip. ACS sells it for $0.32 per foot for a total of $144 for 450 feet. I sort of think it will take just a bit more than that. I think I figured 500 feet. My capstrip was cut from 5/4 (1 inch finished) Douglas Fir stock. We first cut the board into 1/4-inch strips and then cut the 1-inch dimension down the middle. The strips actually came out 1/4 X 7/16 or there abouts. Chuck ----- Original Message -----

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: spruce capstripThat's even a better price you got there Chuck from AC Spruce. My cut and paste was from Wicks Aircraft Supply.Sure is nice to just get finished stock and start cutting and gluing but I can see people making their own capstrip material,just not me:) !Mike C.

Rick,I would say offhand, go with the dry chem. With either you may have a problem getting it onto the fire, but if you succeed in that, the dry chem is going to have a continuous action, where the halon will dissipate rapidly.On May 11, 2013, at 10:57 AM, at7000ft wrote:>> Guys>> Haven't posted in quite a while but I am just about ready to drag my > Piet to a hanger I am sharing with a great guy with two Thorpe T-18s > (Meadow Lake, east of Colorado Springs).>> Anyhow I know its not a requirement but how many of you guys carry a > fire extinguisher?

You can also take a virtual look at the airports you are going to fly to and theterrain you will fly through. In other words you can rehearse your crosscountryflights, including looking for emergiency landing spots on the way.
