I've just received my plans and need to order the wood for a long bodied threepiece wing aircamper. I'll be ordering from Aircraft Spruce and shipping to Europeso I want to avoid any mistakes. I've seen a wood list mentioned in thearchives (Sep 04) and would appreciate it if someone would e-mail me a copy.RegardsDerek Doyle ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 09:50:38 -0800 (PST)

WEIGHT10, WEIGHT15 [15]You are quite correct that the Aircraft Spruce Piet wood kid does notinclude the cap strip material for the wings. (although cap stripmaterial for the tail group is included.) I found this out the hard way.When my wood kit arrived (minus any 1/2 inch by =BC inch cap strips), Icalled and got connected with a nice young lady who looked up the pullsheet (which I had not received with the order) and informed me that capstrip was extra at $8 per foot. (Turns out she was wrong on the $8 perfoot part.) When I got over my shock I checked out the catalogue whichstates that rib and spar stock is supplied S2S and are to be run througha table saw and ripped to the appropriate widths. When I called back tocheck this out, the phone rep checked with the shop guys and came backwith =93we think the 3 inch by 1/2 inch by 7 foot boards are to be rippedfor the cap strips.=94 Shortly after ripping these boards for cap strips,I received the pull sheet and found out that these newly deceased boardsare the aileron spars. Oh well! Good lesson to pass on I guess.Tom StinemetzeMcPherson, Kansas____ | ____ 8/ / =93I bought a Piet wood kit from Aircraft Spruce.
