(and gals, too, if any), I have read everything I have about wood, and except for one comment that hardwoods are mainly used in block form, I can find nothing about the selection and use of hardwood. I am particularly wondering about the two pieces of white ash in the fuselage, between the landing gear fittings. The plans specify 3/4 X 2" cross members at the floor level. How do you select the wood for these pieces...quarter sawn, vertical grain, yadda, yadda, yadda or what? Could you substitute oak? I'd eally appreciate the help of anyone who has dealt with this problem. Thanks in advance. Don Cooley Fairfield, CA P.S. Wish I could join you at Brodhead, maybe next year!

As I previously said, Im from Argentina. Here is almost impossible to get 1/16 plywood, my choices are buy it from Aircraft Spruce, Wicks, etc.(really expensive), custom made plywood (we do have birch sheets, about 0,6mm or .0236 inches) or use 1/8 cedar marine plywood (very cheap, 17 dollars for a 7' x 5,25 sheet) for the ribs gussets. I know that 1/8 has been previously used but, would this add to much weight? What do you think? Another question. Im able to buy 1/4 cedar plywood for the fuselage floor, but this is just 3 ply. Could that work anyway? Thanks. Santiago Morete --------------------------------- Internet gratis y que funciona!
