This one currently on ebay: item number: 15048268181 $23USD for approx. 18 sq/ft 1.5mm hobby plywood. This is about the same price as Aircraft Spruce & Specialty; approx. $25 for 20 sq/ft. (according to my calculations. I personally purchased from ACS for the convenience and reliability. As with everything, shipping is a factor, but I would check into it.

Jack DSM ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:06:58 PM PST US From: "Gary Boothe" Subject: Pietenpol-List: Tail Wheel List, Today I solved a 2 year old problem - my tail wheel. I knew I had it rigged wrong and contemplated many fixes, including completely rebuilding it. The symptom was too much force was required on the rudder pedals, and when the wheel moved from left to right, the tail lifted a little. I put the question to The List a few months ago and got several helpful responses, including this one from Santiago: http://www.pierceaero.net/tws.php In the end, the most simple fix seemed to be the best one.took about 1 hr!

Just returned to Dallas from Don's(dream machines) in Griffin, GA w/my newly overhauled A65-8. Glad I googled around and called him. Had to tear out the back seat to get the engine in the car. Not too shabby. 6k cash for a GN-1 airframe... $4,100 total for overhauled engine w/Slick 4333 mags. Need a cheap prop next...hoping for wood...like that look. Hmmm.. now pondering(see photo) all the little nickle&dime stuff (what size engine bolts/airfilter/carb heat box type..etc etc)... Will be digging thru Aircraft Spruce catalog for awhile ..
