Good source of wood for builders and would-be builders in the Boston area...
After hearing about Boulter Plywood from guys on the list I went down last week
and picked up some of that 1.5mm Okume for the leading edge sheeting. I wasn't
impressed by the person who helped me as he tried to push some damaged sheets
into my 5 sheet order and made faces when I requested swapping them out for
good ones.
I just went there today and was helped by Chris Boulter (owner). I did say this
time that it was for an airplane and asked if they had more than plywood. They
have a huge supply of Sitka spruce in their basement and more of the larger
rough-cut variety in the next-door building. Rough-cut 2" x 6" is 7.95 a board
foot if you select it yourself. Lots of 20' length pieces. If you want him
to pick it for you it's $10.00 board foot because of the time he has to spend
digging and checking. I saw some fantastic pieces in there. Chris was rattling
off all the specs specs for aircraft grading. (I am familiar with these
specs but let him go to see how much he knew) He's a nice guy and knows our
stuff.
Haven't yet done the math to find out what kind of deal that is compared to the
brand names we all know, but for sure, if you truck it home yourself, you won't
be paying $150.00 plus for shipping.
They also carry GL2 aircraft grade plywood. I bought 2 pieces of 1/8" x 5' x 5'
5 ply for about $100.00 which is just a little cheaper than Aircraft Spruce
($54 per 4' x 4' sheet).
No shipping, no waiting, no wondering if your going to receive substandard wood.
Hope somebody else finds this helpful too.

Don,
I didn't think the prices were too bed either, considering ONE M/C wheel
on the site below ($768.00) is more than Airdrome is asking for TWO complete
A/C wheels with tires (about $600.00).

Ron those wheels at Airdrome Aeroplanes look really nice. They really
aren't very hard to make. They can be made without the use of a lathe if you
are
creative. However, the price that he has listed is pretty good. He
definately isn't getting rich on them!

I hope nobody thought I was too cranky regarding the Da Vinci/Magee quotes --
Only a crotchety old geezer like me would actually take time to bellyache
about it...Actually a very good combination of the two, Ken!
Question: I'm working on my motor mounts. Regarding the lower brackets for
the steel motor mounts (for a Model A) -- it isn't clear on my plans whether
three bolt holes are used or just two. Three holes are shown but only two have
hex-head bolts drawn on the plans...the upper hole and the rearmost hole in the
longeron. If three then I will obviously have to notch out a little more of
the lower cross brace wood behind the firewall...

MessageHeck with the picture. Those Rotecs are such nice looking engines I
want to hang one on my living room wall, or maybe the most beautifull and
most expensive ceiling fan you have ever seen.
