Pietenpol-List: local spruce

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "DJ Vegh"
Is there anywhere where one can buy Sitka spruce locally, around Philadelphia orAllentown PA? I don't want to pay the shipping that they want to charge atAS&S. I would consider using Douglas fir but am unsure as to what the requirementswould be to qualify as safe to use in my wings ribs. So if someone has anypointers on what would make fir good enough to use in aircraft that I woulduse that rather than paying shipping.________________________________________________________________________________

grega ailerons do require sealing. Most do it by using a strip of fabric.I'm planning on using a different method. my version can be seen here:http://www.imagedv.com/aircamper/log/im ... eron.htmIf I were to do it over again I would have rather used pieano hinge like aPiet. Too late for me now as I have already made all my ribs.DJ VeghN74DVMesa, AZwww.imagedv.com/aircamper----- Original Message -----

Is any one aware of a PGN, which is a cross between a Piet and a GN-1? Theywere designed in Ohio. ThanksDoyle Combs________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2003 20:34:36 -0700 (PDT)
