It is not always as readily available as the birches or baltic birch.. You can also replace your spruce "sticks" with fir tho you will find it on AVERAGE to be 25% heavier ...but also 25% stronger. Does anyone out there have sketches or ideas for folding wing hardware? It is what I want for my next project.....a simple fold upwards as on WW2 carrier aircraft.
