Neat Web site Jman, One problem, I'm in here playing and I'm should be out in my shop. Just joshing, cause I do need some help and this could be a really cool way to get it. Just finished a Pitts S-2A, and had so much fun, I decided to get another project for the extended winters here in the PNW. A friend and I found a potentially pretty "66" Piel Emeraude in need of some TLC. But old wood is not the same as tube and fabric. So hear comes the educational part of building your own planes. Already found some like minds (problems/questions) discussing okume plywood. I'm facing a pile of it, the planes structure is square overall but the skin looks like a potato chip and all the nails are still there. I need some advice.
