I have ordered my fuse materials and have a few quick plywoodquestions for anyone with time to anwser.1. Do the large plywood sides of the fuselage need to be all onepiece, or can 2 sheets be used?2. Is 3-ply or 5-ply plywood better?3. Can the same type of plywood be used for the seat parts as used inthe gussets?Thanks,Richard==http://www.wrld.com/w3builderNow you can buy my CD at MP3.com:http://db.mp3.com/Visitor/order.php3?cd ... __________

Richardre: your plywood questions. #1 yes you can use two sheets. I did mine thisway be doing a 12 to 1 splice and positioning the splice on a vertical member.I used a belt sander to do the initial bevel and finished it off by shavingwith cut glass. It's easy to keeep it straight...the straighness of the plieswill show you the way. #2 The ply I used was 1/8 inch-seven ply. I think itwas from a/c Spruce. #3 Sure you can use the same material for seats as youdo for gussets but certainly not the same thickness!Don HicksDonanClara(at)aol.com________________________________________________________________________________
