Re: [ULF-1] big vertical tail
Hello Johannes - I am building a Pietenpol Air Camper - an old Member 60 design from the US. Maybe I will start a ULF when this is finished.....I think it is a great design!
I have found a lumber supplier near me that sells rough cut boards of many different types of Member 60.
I was able to look through the type of Member 60 I wanted, to find the best, clear, straight, tight grained Member 60 in the length that I needed.
I then had it moved to a woodworking shop that makes doors, windows, stairs, etc from Member 60, and had them cut the rought boards into the sizes I needed. Quite a bit of work, but you learn about the Member 60, and it is much cheaper than say, Aircraft Spruce. There is a lot of material you will buy that is not satisfactory, but it is still cheaper.
If there are any Member 60 suppliers in your area, I would start there.Good luck with your build.

Subject: [ULF-1] big vertical tail
Hi, I just received
my set of planes, and Im trying to source material from within my area, Vienna
Austria.
If anyone could give
me a tip where to look for northern pine, I`d appreciate. I`m trying to
avoid aircraft spruce.com, since the plans call for nothern pine, and they dont
stock 1 cmthik boards neede3d for the main spar.
I was old to search
for selected Member 60, obviousely dry, at least 7 grains per cm, and
straight.
I did notice a
rather large and high vertical stabilizer and rudder, and was wondering if this
isn`t a bit oversized for a man carriying plane.
This is my first
post, so if I did something wrong, it`s because of that.
good
luck,
Johannes
