Ken, I've sort of split my orders between Spruce and Wicks. There is a fellow in Canada also, Jean something, maybe someone else can give you his info, it may be on Aircamper.Org, I hear he puts out a nice complete, extremely high quality wood kit. The people who've bought that have all been very happy. I'm pretty sure Carl Loar used him - right Carl? I'll be ordering spars before too long, and I'm leaning toward Wicks, I used them for my longerons, and they were very nice. If I could arrange a pickup at Spruce, though, then I'd probably use them exclusively. I guess I feel like Wicks is the little guy, and I try to support little guys when I can. If I can find that name up in Canada, I'll get it to you. I do know he's planning on retiring soon, so if you want to use him, make your move quickly!Best of Luck!Gary MeadowsSpring, TX________________________________________________________________________________

05/02/2001 10:17:51 AMGary,The guy in Canada you are referring to used to be listed in the 'suppliers'section of Aircamper.org. Back before the site went off-line & wasresurrected, there was a note that he was retiring at the end of 2000. hisname & address are not on the current list. BTW, has anyone had troublewith the links to Aircamper.org? I have to retype each link after I go toit (I have to add: www.aircamper.org/ to each link) to get a validconnection. Anyone else having problems?Cheers!Kip Gardner________________________________________________________________________________

The guy in Canada is Jean Peters of Western Aircraft Supply. His Ph # is403-250 1955.I believe he planned on retiring in June so I would call him soon. His fusepackage is really nice.I imagine that the wing kit is good too. Hope this helps.CarlPlease visit my website atwww.megsinet.net/skycarl-----Original Message-----
