I ordered the plywood kit from A/C Spruce in May of 2012 and received 3/32 plywoodinstead of the 1/8th needed for the fuselage side and gussets. I am discussingthis with them now and they say this. Ive never heard of St. Croix plans.Can anyone share what these are with me?All but one of the kits are now NLA |because they were for a St Croix|version of Pietenpol. All the current|kits listed on the web are now|original Pietenpol material kits.|Andrew Pietenpol did not want us to|have a plywood only kit, so he added|plywood to the other kits as needed|per section of aircraft. I think we|should verify with the customer what|plans he has.

I bought the complete Pietenpol plans, But in the book that comes with it is acopy of the plans that were shown in the Flyer and Glider manual. While sitingin the comfort of my recliner , and looking at that book, I placed an orderfor some plywood. It seems that those plans show 3/32 for the sides,and 7/32for the bottom. That is 1/32 less thickness than the later improved version. I did buy 1 sheet of 1/8 for the rest of the gussets, and have since orderedmore 1/8 needed for seat backs and other cockpit parts . Now I intend touse the 3/32 for the sides and have already used the 7/32 for the bottom. I thinkit will be plenty good enough, My 2 cents worth.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: St. Croix Plans?
