Is tis why?

Ron:
Is this why more people don't build wooden gliders?
They can't get the wood.

Been searching the internet for some ply. Everything from 1/32" to 1/4".
But unless I send to the UK for it, and pay the shipping, it seems there's none to be had.
Some shops, notably in Dublin, have a very limited stock of a few sizes.

Where do people buy their ply? :?

Ron :cry:

Fred:
Hi Ron,
As we said before, we pretty much have anything you need/want !

I use at least a forest of balsa / plywood a year for my own use, so we have everything !

Not all is listed seeing the lack of interrest for the building stuff, but if you give me a list, in metric, I'll let you know !

If not in stock, we can have it within a week  :D

Fred

Ron:
Hi Fred,

Yes you are definitely the largest stockist of wood for modelling in Ireland.
That's because you are the only stockist of wood for modelling in Ireland  :!:  :lol:  :lol:

We all ought to be planting trees.
Not sure Balsa will grow on bog though... :cry:

Have to ask my local tree man if he's got any plywood trees 8)

Ron.

Ron:
Oops, sorry.
Metric measurements.

I piece of 1/8" ply from the scrap box measures 0.127", so that's a couple of thousanths of an inch over 1/8".
Not bad.
But that makes it about 3.175mm. (or 3.3539635217573706e-19 light years :lol: )

There's a good converter at:
http://www.smallholders.org/index.php?linkto=conversions.html

So 1/16" would be 1.5875mm, and 1/32" is nearly 0.8mm.

I wonder if ply is actually made in imperial or metric? :?

On a plan I have it says 1/4" or 6mm, which has to be near enough.

Ron.

IceWind:
There aren't many hobby shops around...
I guess RC planes is not a big hobby in Ireland. :(
