Title: hardwood spar
Post by: stephen.shannon on June 20, 2014, 14:48:52 PM

Hi All,

I'm looking for a suppliy of some lengths of hardwood spars for wing building. Greenhobbies don't appear to be have been open for the last three to four weeks and radioscontrolshop don't do them. I'm waiting on a call back from Modelheliservices.

Thanks

Stephen

Hi Stephen,
              Radiocontrolshop have stripwood 1/8" x 1/4" and is hard enough for spars. I have used for same and no problems.

Not sure I had any left! I'll have a look and let you know.
Thus can be ordered anyway, but shipping might not make it worth it, unless somebody else need strip wood?
