Any chance for export? Do you have contacts for

Here in Oz I'm using hoop pine - an Australian native timber that's popular
with boatbuilders. It's been used in aircraft since at least WW2. About
10% heavier than spruce but also 15% stronger. And about an order of
magnitude cheaper since it's locally grown whereas spruce has to be
imported.

As a poor teacher with three kids in college and a bad aviation addiction, I
have had to save where I could with my KR2 construction. I sav
a Pup though... it's just not a KR.
Thanks again Jeff

Oh definitely not Larry... I am looking forward to the gathering and it will be
my first. I have followed long enough to know there are many variations on a

against using alternatives. But putting a lot of extra labor into the project
to save a couple of bucks may be the death nell of your dream.

I found some amazingly close grained near zero run out yellow cedar

They are not quite long enough but I think they could be scarfed for

Bob,
You probably already know this, acceptable scarf joints in aircraft building
are at a 12 to 1 ratio I believe.
I like the idea of storing your sweaters in the KR while not flying it. I do
wonder though how much of your sweaters the little flutter bugs can eat when
you remove them for a shor
I could also put strings on it and play a song but I don't think it would

and Yellow cedar is actually stronger then sitka with extremely minor weight
difference,maybe 1-2 lbs over the whole project. Hell, I can lose
