Bass wood for what? Gussets? According to my wicks catalog, basswood is sold in 1/16 thickness, so I.....ASSUME .....that it is acceptable for gussets. From all my reading, basswood has never been mentioned as acceptable aircraft wood for structures. Pine is acceptable however (from my reading) but it is only 85% as strong, so must be assembled in parts that are 15% thicker to make up the strength difference in spruce. If you are new to the list, get the book EAA Aircraft building techniques in wood. From EAA, or order from local bookstore . about 20.00 . A very good refrence.ocb>From steve(at)byu.edu Thu Dec 24 07:41:23 1998>Received: from adena.byu.edu ("port 3792"@adena.byu.edu [128.187.22.180])> by EMAIL1.BYU.EDU (PMDF V5.2-29 #31181)> with ESMTP id for oilcanbob(at)hotmail.com;>Date: Thu, 24 Dec 1998 07:38:41 -0800 (PST)>From: Larry Ragan >Subject: Western A/C supply>Sender: Maiser(at)adena.byu.edu>To: Pietenpol Discussion >Errors-to: Steve(at)byu.edu>Reply-to: Pietenpol Discussion >Message-id: >MIME-version: 1.0>X-Mailer: Mercury MTS v1.43 (NDS) (via Mercury MTS v1.43 (NDS))>Comments: Originally To: "Pietenpol Discussion" >X-Listname: >>Does western a/c/ have a web page?
