I am seriously thinking starting an Osprey 2 plans built project. This would be my first homebuilt and I was wondering where you guys get your wood from? I see there are wood "kits" for this airplane from Wicks and Aircraft Spruce and Specialty but these are a pricey upfront cost and I'm sure I will be messing up some parts as this is my first build. I kind of wanted to "buy as I go". Is my only option buying wood from these companys peice by peice? It seems shipping costs would be through the roof. Do I have any options? Thanks for any help. I'm located near Lansing, Michigan.
