The 1/4 inch AV plywood for my KR-2S firewall has about 16 plys per 1/4 inch Marine grade has about 8 plys per 1/4 inch Home Depot has about 4 plys per 1/4 inch
AV 1/4 plywood is like steel The Home Depot 1/4 plywood is like drywall This observation is not totally accurate, however... you get the point. All kidding aside... AV plywood cost a fortune but is amazing and safe and the correct and recommended material. My inspector checked my plywood in the boat stage.

Is this ok for airplanes? I know a fellow plane builder in my chapter who is building his plane with Birch but im not sure where he got it. I am no expert in anyway (obvously) on what is acceptable.
