Can you provide a description of the wood kits available from Flitzer-Aero?
The newly upgraded wood kit, including all the timber pieces cut to exact cross section and length (with a bit for trimming and fitting) is provided in Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fir as specified in Lynn’s drawings. I purchase the wood from a small supplier in British Columbia, Canada, that specializes in wood for aeroplanes. This supplier actually purchases the trees standing in the forest, and then has them cut, sawn and dried to his specifications. He then mills them in accordance with the cutting lists that I provide. In this manner he is able to maximize the best use of wood from the entire tree, and is able to provide the kits at a very reasonable cost. I have supplied more than a half dozen wood kits in the last few months, and each customer has been extremely pleased with the quality of the wood, and the accuracy of the cutting. I would be more than pleased to provide references; some of whom may be close to you so you could actually see the quality of the wood.
