Mike P.- no, I'm not looking for a database of spars. I was just inquiring aboutspar thickness. My analysis includes solid and routed, 1" and 3/4", spruceand fir. Besides the built-up I-beam and the UK box designs, I will also NOTbe studying anything deeper than the standard 4-3/4" deep FC-10 spars. Peoplewho use the Riblett or other airfoils may be able to use a deeper spar, whichwill provide increased capacity, but I'm not going there.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2014 08:21:26 -0700

Jim B.: is this a test? ;o)I am not studying the J-3 or Champ but after I get done with the Air Camper, Imay be interested enough to take a look at those others.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: spar strength

Jesus, Guys, enough!!If you spent half the time building that you spend worrying over minutia and runningstress analysis on an 80 year old design, we would darken the skies withPietenpols. Pick a max gross comparable to others and go fly the damned thing!!GeneOn Jul 31, 2014, at 11:12 AM, "taildrags" wrote:> > Mike P.- no, I'm not looking for a database of spars.
