Good day all,
I am about to lay up my wood spar for my project. It is a laminated spar consisting of 9 strips. The completed spar is tapered from root to tip on both the top and on the forward side. Similar to the crude drawing I just made in the Microsoft draw and attached here.
My question is which is the best way to get this taper? Or more important the most acceptable way? Should I scarf each piece indivually before gluing or is it acceptable to cut it as on solid unit?
Also does anybody know of a good reference material/training books in reference to wood other than AC 43.13 and other than the EAA Working building with wood book?
Thanks
Mark
