Well now I have another dilemma, I have all the wood ( spruce ) needed for the fuselage sides except the 1 1/4 pieces and the rear top longerons from mid cockpit back, what I have isn't long enough, I called wicks today and they said they only have cap,strips and not of that length, said once they get rid if what they got they wont be selling anymore spruce, I ask why and was told that they cant get good wood anymore, the tree's just aint there, didn't expect that, this leaves me to do what I didn't want to do, source my own wood, I didn't want to mix wood but Im going to have to, is this ok? furthermore I don't know what I might find locally white pine or douglas fir, I would like to stick with only one other type of wood so Im gonna call around tomorrow and see what I can find, I have heard of people digging through lumber only to come away with nothing.Is white pine good enough for spar's? |
