Mahogany plywood (5 ply), will provide sufficient strength at a higher cost (25-50%) over Birch.
Birch plywood (5 ply), is 25% stronger and weighs 20-25% more than Mahogany. Mahogany vs. Birch is a fine example of spending a little more to save weight. By using Mahogany you can save 2 lbs. on the KR2-S fuselage sides. Regards, Larry A Capps KR Newsletter CD Naperville, IL -----Original Message----- I was thinking about which plywood to order. The options Mahogany $118 4X8 (10lbs). Birch $82 4X8 (12lbs). Could someone explain these options and their strengths and weakness.
