I have always used aircraft approved timber in my KR’s

Thank you greatly for your candor Larry and I appreciate it.
Maybe if I add a little perspective my questions may make a little more
sense.
As you possibly know, I am in South Africa and completing a KR-2 Build
that I recently took over so am learning as I go. In South Africa a
Supplier in Charolette sent me these, this is select Douglas Fir, what ya

To follow on Phillip comment, does it really matter what ply is used as
long as it is light and strong enough to hold shape in flight? What about
fibreglass and foam laminate like the KR-Super2? Could the laminate not

Hi KR members I have used Alaskan yellow cedar for sailboat mast 40' mast
about 5" dia at foot.It was much more flexible than spruce even though
modulus of elasticity looked comparable.I glued it with west marine
epoxy.Yellow cedar dust is toxic to breath also.thank you John working on a
KR2

I am building using Yellow (Alaskan) Cedar.
It sits between Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fir in its strength properties.
I wrote up the research I completed and put it on the web at this link.

plywood for the skin than the more expensive mahogany. Given the high
