aileron spar and other material list

Post by mbarkeralaska »

Hi guys
I am building ribs, about 2 a day as we head into Alaska winter. Getting ready to order spars and other larger spruce items.
A few questions.
1. Has anyone found better availability and price on spruce wing spars than Aircraft Spruce? Current catalog price is over $1,800 for 4 wing spars. Plus shipping.
2. I have hyper analyzed the plans/drawings. Trying to come up with a list of wood for the (a) main aileron spar, and (b) the aft aileron false spar. I need the size and length you ordered. Just to double check my measurements.
3. Also wondering what you purchased for the wing (a) leading edge... and (b) training edge. Obviously will have to trim and cut for shape and fit. Just wondering the raw materials you purchased.

Thanks -----
Mark
