What can anyone tell me about Jean Peters spruce? I spoke with him todayand he told me to ask around these sites so......here it is. As most ofyou know, I am ignorant on aircraft grade materials and that I am tryingto "cram" knowledge to begin my build as soon as possible. He has thefuse spruce ready to ship to me Tuesday and as some of you know, most ofthe other suppliers are running up to several months behind.He suggestedthat I contact B&D in California if I wanted to order plywood rightaway. He said that I wouldn't have to know any more than thickness andnumbers of sheets from you guys if I ordered only birch from thembecause they don't sell anything but exceptional grade plywood. Anyfeedback on this statement? When I mentioned putting the 0-200 in myPiet, he suggested using only birch because of it's ruggedness againstthe larger powerplant. Is this so? Also he highly recomended a gluecalled "Structan". Anything on this? He said it has survived 6 hourboiling tests. What does this mean? Though I have a handfull of guys around here that I can pick forinfo much of the time, I would really like to go head to head, voice tovoice with someone fluent in Pietledge, if you know what I mean. If anyone wants to give me their number and tell me when to call, I'll suregive you the old ..........you know! Anything to make it to Wisconsinnext year.________________________________________________________________________________

>What can anyone tell me about Jean Peters spruce? Two sono tubes, one 15' long, one 8' long. Cost about$100 to air freight it to Rochester, NY. Other than thatthe wood looks fine to me. I do question the amount of1/2 x 1/2 in the package. I think that he missed that it is used for the front upright in the ribs.It is much easier and cheaper than figuring a mill listfor AS&S.Dave________________________________________________________________________________
