John's Question: Can anyone tell me the size of the "Outer rear spar vert pcs"? > My list has two of them listed. > 1 pc 1/2 x 1 ?/? 42". > 1 pc 1/2 x 1/2 x 42". >
John, Welcome, Do you have your plans? If not then get them. The answer to your question is the rear outer spar is made of 1/2" x 1/2" and 1/2" x 7/8" thick pieces of spruce. The end of the spar is made up of the first piece 1/2" thick by the width of the spar cap. (Look at your plans to see that dimension just to be sure). The next piece is a 1/2" by 1/2". Followed by a piece thats again 1/2" thick by the width of the spar cap. Notice each piece alternates. The length of each vertical piece is different do to the taper of the spar. Please note that I am doing this from memory and do not have the plans in front of me. I remember having to order extra spruce for the verticals in the forward spars due to the deeper spar in the newer wing. I had plenty of material for the rear spars. Good Luck.
