Oops, you're right. I have never been good at getting the names of all the specific parts right. I usually say something like "the part in front of the wing that hangs down etc." Shows my lack of sophistication.Mac in Oregon ----- Original Message -----

Just make sure you get a type that's glued with the correct glue. It's been a long time since i looked into this, but there is some kind of Lloyd's or British Mil. Spec. rating that indicates the correct adhesive.Kip GardnerOn Mar 31, 2009, at 4:20 PM, Dortch, Steven D MAJ NG NG NGB wrote:> NGB" >> LOL, at first glance this looked like an email from Kenya asking me > to help get $10million out of the country by givng them my bank > account number.>> Blue Skies,> Steve D.>>>>> Khaya African Mahogany, Flat Sawn>> Okoume, Rotary Cut>> White Birch, Rotary Cut>>>> Thanks,>> Steve>>>>>>________________________________________________________________________________

Well it seems like a long time since I hauled D.J.'s project home from Arizona.andI guess it was 2 years ago-maybe even 3? but finally I have the fabric goingon the fuselage and it feels good.I am not sure how much more I'll get donethis summer because after this month I'm going back to work on a job that willhave me traveling all over Kansas and western Oklahoma and even as far as BeatriceNebraska. but if I can just get the fuselage painted and sitting on thegear in the next 3 weeks plus-every time I get a chance to blot something onit-it will be going on for good with the exception of having to take the wingsoff to get it out of the shop after weight and balance.i figure easily anotheryear-but it's looking more like I'll outlive it after all.RaymondRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Fuselage Plywood
