My spars are douglas fir.. and I found some within an hour from here.plan to pick of a board or 2 today and start scarfing. the repair other than scarfing the joint that is still on the plane looks prettyeasy.A couple of the pilots here at work are asking when i'm going to put an airplaneengine on it. I really hate to do that because the A is really cool.I do know of an A75 locally that I could get for a good price.. needs overhaul,but that's easy. I hope to keep the A.. going to tear it apart unless I findan ignition or carb prob just to figure this out.but the wing is first.. gotta have that no matter the engine choice.I'm thinking a lot about the oil pressure.. or lack of..being the possible issue.jeffRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:14:56 +0800 (WST)
