Pieters,
A few thoughts for those of you who have not acquired your building lumber.
As has been stated on this list, the finished stock at lumber yards and home
improvement centers are NOT fully demensioned. A 3/4 isn't quite 3/4 etc. If I
were beginning my first Piet and didn't have shop power tools I would search
my community for cabinet shops with large table saws, joiners and planers.
Make a deal with them to rip up your needs to full plans sizes. For the sitka
spruce or douglas fir I've found that 4 pcs 2X6 16ft is sufficient for spars,
longerons and most cross braces and tail feathers. Be sure to specify
vertical grain, kiln dried, with at least 12 to 18 grains to the inch and straight
without pitch pockets. This will have to be ordered and shipped. For the
smaller cross bracing in fuse and wings you can use the clear lumber yard stuff.
I think going this way you will get better lumber and a much better price in
the long run.
Just a Sat morning thought to help another get started
Levi

If anyone could share some detailed aileron construction pictures, it
would sure be appreciated. I've checked out Chris's and Peter's sites.
Thanks,
