I am about to start building a Jodel Dr250. THis aircraft was originally specified with Okoume plywood , mostly 1.6 & 3.2mm thickness and birch plywood in some stressed areas. Aircraft Spruce has a domestic Mahogany Plywood the right sizes in mil-p-6070 specs. I found a supplier for 1.5 & 3.2 Okoume from a marine supplier in BS 6566 spec's. There is a higher specification BS1088 but I was told the thinner plywoods cannot meet that specification. So I am looking for a recommendation .. Is ACS's Mahogany a good substitute for Okoume (or even better) and or is a BS 6566 Okoume adequate for aircraft use?
Thanks
