Some of the capstrip I received from them did not meet the 6 annual rings per inch standard. I am about to place a wood order with them and wish to include the wood required to make the aileron spars. I believe I can get by with 1/2" by 2 1/2 stock. These dimension fall under their capstrip pricing. If you go to 1/2 by 2 3/4 material you have to buy spar stock. The fact that the aileron spars are called spars, should I order spar material for them? -------- John Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=373278#373278 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:22:01 AM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: RC Piet From: "pineymb" Look no hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good enough for now and I will order the capstrip. I will check it though when I get it :) -------- John Francis Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=373314#373314 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 12:08:26 PM PST US From: "C N Campbell" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Capstrip vs Spar material There is not nearly as much stress on the ailerons as there is on the wing spars.
