Hi all
I am about to start work on my piet,first thank you all for your very informative
posts I have decided to just get started and ask questions as they come up.
I am about to order some Spruce and have come across a company called Western Aircraft
Supplies in Slocon BC.
Has any heard of them or had any dealings with them there is lots of positive talk
about Wicks and AS&S but I haven't seen any thing about these guys.
Any info would be great
Thanks

I bought my fuselage wood from them back when the original owner was still involved.
The quality was good and the service was excellent. But this was 6 years
ago and I don't know how they are now. I purchased their fuselage kit and,
as near as I can remember, I have not had to buy any additional wood. Some
people have had shortages in wood when using the Aircraft Spruce kit.
Because it was coming from Canada, I had to pick up the shipment at the airport
and work with the local customs agent but it was no problem. You might want to
check on where you will have to pick it up so it can clear customs. Actually,
shipping was quite reasonable (as in LESS) then Aircraft Spruce. This may
have all changed by now because it was 6 years ago.
What is the current contact info? Do you happen have a price on wood for the wing?
Hopefully, I will be needing it by the end of the year.

This company used to be operated by Jean Peters and was located at Calgary,
Alberta. He retired a few years back and the new owner moved it to BC.
Jean gave excellent service and his wood was definitely aircraft quality.
Alas, I have not heard anything good about the new outfit. It seems nobody
can get a response from them and I haven't heard of anyone getting wood from
them.
I think I would be inclined to deal with Wicks if I were looking for
aircraft wood, unless you have made contact with WAS and feel you can get
results.

I may have a set of ribs available for about the same price. I have a
project on the hook from New Mexico and just need to be sure it has a full
set of ribs.

Regarding the Canadian Pietenpol C-GZHT, with the wooden lift
and cabane struts, Clif wrote:
"Registered July 19, 2005.
So those wood struts have two years on them."
This extremely well crafted Air Camper was at Brodhead on the
weekend, and I talked with the owner/builder, Paul Poulin, who flew it
20 hours (with 15 stops) from his home in Quebec (near the border with
Maine) to get to Brodhead. He had 120 hours of flight time on the plane
as of Sunday morning. The struts are solid (laminated) white ash. Paul
weighed his struts, and compared them to streamlined metal struts from a
Pacer or something similar, and he says his wood struts were lighter.
His plane is powered by a C-75, with starter and generator (from an
Ercoupe).
Paul used Kawasaki 550 motorcycle wheels - only modification was
to remove the bearings and insert nylon bushings... that's right, nylon
bushings.
The aluminum side panel is removable to access cables and wiring
that all run outside the plywood, behind the fabric.
His aluminum on the sides, and the cowl, and the wheel covers
comes from the hardware store - aluminum flashing.
His plane weighs 754 lb (I think) including oil, but no fuel.
Sunday morning Paul and a passenger departed for Oshkosh, where
I am sure he will be receiving some (well deserved) award for his
workmanship.
Well done Paul!

Carson,
Where in Australia are you?
There are a few of us over in Perth WA who are using Douglas Fir
which we have obtained locally. Excellent quality wood and very
suitable for aircraft construction. There is a slight weight penalty
but others on the list have used DF and achieved empty weights below
700lb. The big benefit we found was the cost saving, about 1/3 the
cost of spruce. You will need to machine the DF down to size though.
