Dear ULF-1 Builders,

Our EAA Chapter 309 Group Build Team has finished all the tail feathers 
on our ULF-1 and they are hung up in our workshop, staring down at us!

We are starting on the fuselage next.  We have several questions for the 
group:

1.  What thickness of plywood is used for the fuselage gussets?

2.  Where the 2 upper longerons are slit at the tail, what thickness of 
plywood is glued into this slit where the longerons bend to meet at the 
tail?  How long should this slit be?

3.  Does anyone here in the U.S. have a good source of hard and medium 
density balsa cut to mm dimensions?

Many thanks for your help.
