Admin Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Just had a call from a person in Brisbane who is after some scrap wood from anyone building a wooden aircraft - he wants to try his hand at making a wooden model aircraft. Let me know if you can help - thanks!
Guest Escadrille Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Hi Ian , I have some spruce here.What sort of model A/C and why aircraft grade timber I wonder? Do you have some contact details for this model builder? A
Deskpilot Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Pity he's not here in S.A. as there's 2 basket ball courts worth of oak and jarra going begging. No long bit unfortunately, max is about 4ft. I'm must say that I wondered why he needed aircraft grade wood for a model. Maybe it's gunna be big enough for him to fly it. I'm such a suspicious B*****d.
Downunder Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Models are mainly made from balsa and perhaps something heavier (light ply?) for the fire wall and main structural supports (landing gear). Balsa is available in bunnings. Might be best to start with a ARF. (Almost Ready to Fly) kit.
