    Subject: Thanks for the spar info!!!
    --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Jim Markle" <jim_markle@mindspring.com> I'm continually amazed at what incredible resources we have in this group! Having a good local EAA chapter is important. But having this group really makes the process amazing! (In fact, the spar article from Sport Aviation and the NACA Report No. 344 were mailed to me yesterday......) Thanks for everyone's help/feedback. The numbers are in and I'm quite satisfied that an I beam spar design will work just fine. A 1/4"(quite adequate) or 3/8"(probably more than adequate) plywood web is what I'll use. So full height ply with 1" tall strips of Doug Fir, each side of the top and bottom, to build out the "I" design. I found that a number of British Piets are flying with an I beam spar design that incorporates aircraft quality plywood webs in the 1/8" thickness range. So actually doing the calculations can result in a good safe structure (estimated 1200# MUAW) with a lot less than my "overbuilding" tendencies would dictate! Thanks again. Jim in Plano, TX having just completed my second Tech Counselor inspection and it looks like I'm on the right track! :-) My build log: http://www.mykitplane.com/Planes/buildLogReport.cfm?PlaneID=52
