spruce spar stock. Where to get it?
« on: October 05, 2015, 11:53:31 AM »
Sig doesn't list it anymore nor Midwest.  Balsa USA only has basswood sticks.


Who has sticks?  or do I order it from Aircraft spruce and rip it myself?

National Balsa lists it.  I haven't bought any spruce from them, but I've been reasonably happy with what I have gotten.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Hi Dave,

Aircraft Spruce sells spruce already cut in spar size strips.  It is listed in the wood section as spruce capstrips.  Aircraft Spruce cuts sizes very accurately.  Or, as you mentioned, you can buy spruce in the right thickness & rip it yourself.

Bought spruce spar materials from Aircraft Spruce for my RingGoose project. They shipped them taped to a strip of pine.
