Well I just got my hands on a workspace. Now I'd like to start > working on an airplane. I'm pretty well settled on the KR-1. > --------------------------------------------- Greg, Welcome Where are you from, some places are harder to get timber than others. Here in Australia , many timber builders use Hoop Pine, a little heaver but stronger I'm told. Aircraft ply is the preferred choice for ply, due to its mage and strength, but expensive of course.
Spruce- I am no expert, but can I say the Tony Bingelis Books set is a must I think , http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/bv/books_bingelis.html Is 6oz fiberglass the proper replacement?-- 6oz would do if 5 oz not available. I got my F/Gass supplies from a Canoe manufacture, so look around and see what is in you area, talk to them for help. You can but Epoxy in large 20 lit, so again look around to see what you can find. I use west system, but other companies make equilivant products. it pays to ask.
