He needs a board feet number to give to the supplier. Anyone have a good number to start with? -------- Andy Garrett 'General Purpose Creative Dude' Haysville, Kansas Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=444696#444696 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:06:29 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Board feet of lumber From: "tools" The spars are about 35... Doubling that should get you in the ballpark depending on how well it grades out. Hopefully available in sixteen foot boards.

Seriously, though, did your supplier give you any indication of the size of boards he would be supplying? You're going to need full 1" finished thickness for the longerons (and a few other pieces). I have used 2 rough sawn planks 2" x 6" @ 20 ft long - that's 40 board feet (plus a bargain bag of spruce from Aircraft Spruce) to build my ribs, empennage and fuselage. Spar material will be additional to this. Bill C.

As it turns out, I just sat down with the sub-kit lists available at Aircraft Spruce's website and did the math. Spars are 19bf for 3/4" stock and 25.33bf for 1". The rest adds up to about 42bf. I haven't bothered with the plywood yet. My seller is sourcing both Sitka Spruce (custom cut) and Douglas Fir for me. We came up with stock sizes that minimize cuts to keep costs down and still allow me to create the pieces I need using the equipment I now have. I'm a bit worried about quality though being sight unseen. With that in mind, I am ordering 60bf minus the spar material to allow for plenty of saw loss and errors. That's almost 50% more than I need (in theory). I'll study some planes, take plenty of pictures, and talk to some folks at Oshkosh before I decide which path I wind up taking for spars.

So if you're traveling to Brodhead and Oshkosh this year for you know anybody who is picking up your lumber in Madison at Mccormicks, or at least check out their prices. -------- Tom Kreiner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=444712#444712 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 07:02:53 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Board feet of lumber From: "j_dunavin" 2nd the McCormick's route. Note that it's all rough cut so it needs to be resawn, planned and ripped to the appropriate size. I have found a local business though that will mill it down to what i need for very a reasonable price as I do not have a planner.

For the next 6 months or so I will be in north Oklahoma, southwest Colorado and south central Texas. Perhaps I will see some of your planes or projects along with the pietenpeople who own them. I will be following the list.
