Has anyone used the Kapler three piece wing with a 3/4 inch thick routed spar?Any ideas on difference in weight, strength between the 3/4 inch spar and the1 inch spar called for on the original Sky Scout plans? Any thoughts welcome.Ed Woerle________________________________________________________________________________

x-mac-creator="4D4F5353"Ed,I used 1 inch sitka spruce and routed out the center of each accordingto the original plans. I think it saved about 12 or 13 pounds. Saved thesaw dust. Not real scientific. Looking forward to spring in Pa. Haven'trun the Peit since the first week of Dec.Craig________________________________________________________________________________
