Subject: Pietenpol-List: 7/32" Ply for floor?I've looked all over and don't see anyone selling 7/32" plywood like the plans specify for the floor. What are people doing, substituting 1/4" or laminating a 1/8" and 3/32"?Matt Paxton(Wings built, fuselage underway)________________________________________________________________________________

What are people doing, substituting 1/4" or laminating a 1/8" and 3/32"?I used 6mm marine Mahogany 5 ply. Its available through most lumber yards, and is much cheaper (about 1/3 the price) than aircraft ply and is beautiful quality. 6mm is roughly 1/4" (25.4mm to the inch). The wood sizes are not critical so don't panic if you can't find exactly what BHP used in 1933.Cheers, Jim________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2001 17:36:26 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: 7/32" Ply for floor?

I used quarter inch aircraft plywood I purchased locally from a boatrestoring shop. Since the floor is an important part of the structure'sstrength I went with the aircraft quality. Regular plywood may be cheaperbut this is an airplane and not a shed so the extra bucks give peace of mindwhile in the wild blue yonder.CarlPlease visit my website atwww.megsinet.net/skycarl-----Original Message-----
