Pietenpol-List: Capstrip vs Spar material

I was told some time ago by ACS that capstrip is not required to meet the higherstandards of spar material. Some of the capstrip I received from them did notmeet the 6 annual rings per inch standard. I am about to place a wood orderwith them and wish to include the wood required to make the aileron spars.I believe I can get by with 1/2" by 2 1/2 stock. These dimension fall undertheir capstrip pricing. If you go to 1/2 by 2 3/4 material you have to buy sparstock. The fact that the aileron spars are called spars, should I order spar materialfor them?--------JohnRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 18 May 2012 13:48:53 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Capstrip vs Spar material

There is not nearly as much stress on the ailerons as there is on the wing spars. I see no need to use spar stock for the ailerons. I didn't. Hope my ailerons pass inspection. C----- Original Message -----
