Last week I hauled a project back from New Mexico to it's new home inMidland Ontario. Great road trip. Now that I've got it home I,m startingto have a few questions.Has anyone tried making a built-up spar? The Spar material I have with thisproject appears to be intended to build up the spar rather than routing it.The aircraft has (or will have) a 3 piece wing.It has the old style wooden gear legs so I'll be looking for wire wheels.Looked into a set of 19 inch wheels from a supplier I found in a search ofthe archives (http://www.airdromeairplanes.com/index.html) but they don'thave brakes integral to the wheel. Anyone got a suggestion. I want to coverthe wheels and I'd like the brakes to be as inconspicuous as possible.I now have two sets of ribs. One set was built for me by David Stephens(Dimension Wood) and is for sale.Bob________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2007 20:15:50 -0700 (PDT)
