Gp-4 Spruce Kit
Overview
|
Our spruce kits are designed to encourage the builder to personally produce the components for his aircraft with a minimum of investment in shop equipment. A table saw is an asset, but an aircraft can be built completely with the use of only hand tools. The complete kits listed below contain all the spruce required for the aircraft. Kits marked ** contain the wing and aileron spars finished to the net dimensions called out in the plans, without beveling. In all other kits the wing and aileron spars are S2S (surfaced two sides) spar stock that is to be cut to the finished pieces. The rib and stringer stock are supplied S2S to the net thickness required and are to be run through a table saw one way to produce the finished pieces. One board 1/4" thick x nominal 6" wide will yield about 16 pieces of finished 1/4 x 1/4 capstrip. Without the use of a table saw, the builder should order only a Spar Kit, which includes the wing and aileron spars finished to net dimensions (unbeveled), then order the capstrip and milled stock as needed. No plywood, glue, nails or other supplies are included in our spruce kits. All materials must be ordered individually as priced in this catalog. Spruce kits are well packed, shipped by truck and insured for value by the carrier. Export orders are solicited. Prompt and efficient handling is assured. Since all spruce is milled to individual requirements and cannot be stocked in finished condition, payment in full is requested with order. Spruce kits are produced from materials lists which are believed to be accurate. However, since designers may modify certain dimensions after the original plans are released, we urge the builder to verify sizes and current price before ordering. |

If your planning on building one of these, your welcome to come to my hanger and see one and sit in it. It delivers the performance you want, but better not be 6 tall, and dont plan on carrying much. Mine is for sale, whole or part. (I cant afford two planes and three hanger fees). Here is a video of it, mine is located at KSEE. Eagle alley, hanger 38. Here is a video of the plane, build pictures to follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxAqpaZQ7DU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbaIsrJjVVs I hope this helps in your decision, wood is very underrated and strong, just have a hanger to avoid moisture, woods enemy #1. dan
