I'd get an quote from AS that includes shipping, and then one from Wicks 
where you pick it up, and you'll either find it cheaper, or Wicks would 
match it.  There's a lot to be said for supporting some competition to the 
biggest player in the industry, especially if it's local...

KR> Wicks spruce kit

[Adam Tippin]

I had a similar issue as I am also starting a new build. I believe the
wicks kit quote included the mahogany plywood. aircraft spruce is just
spruce. Look for those details.

Ask each supplier for a detailed breakdown list of what is in their 
wood kit and compare the two list.  They should list each piece of

KR> Wicks aircraft "open house" day

[Mark Langford]

KRnetHeads,

Today Larry Flesner and I flew into the "First Annual Wicks Forum", an open 
house that featured some great speakers and a tour of the organ factory.  
Speakers like Rod Hightower (the new EAA president) and Mark Cook, Kitplanes 
editor, among others. I really like Hightower...I think he's asking the right 
questions and planning to do the right things.  

It occured to me that I should have sent out a reminder late in the week to 
fill up a few of the empty tables.  I'll do my best to do a web page on the 
experience by tomorrow night, but for now check out this picture of Larry 
flying early this morning over Illinois.  See

Gathering attendees,

I just spoke with Scott Wick of Wick's Aircraft and he has committed 
to deliver orders to the Gathering on Saturday, the 19th.  The cutoff 
for orders delivered to the Gathering will be Thursday, Sept 17th, at 
5:00PM.  He will also be bringing catalogs for anyone that needs or 
wants one.  Good chance for you to save shipping cost and especially 
the cost of shipping any "haz-mat" items.

Quite often Scott Wick or somebody from there will make a run over to the 
Gathering bringing hard-to-ship orders over in a truck.  I'm not sure this 
has been addressed, but if you'll call Wicks and ask to speak to Scott, I'll 
bet that's about all it would take to get him to show up and bring catalogs, 
spars caps, whatever.  Shipping becomes free at that point.

I'd like to spend a few minutes with Scott myself...just to bend his ear

KR> Wicks & KR history

[laser...@juno.com]

Interesting note on page 19 of the current issue of Flying magazine.

"In 1974 Martin Wick, who owned Wicks Organ Company, built a Rand KR-2 in
only three months, but the experience convinced him that there was a
market for a company that catered to the needs of homebuilders, and Wicks
Aircraft Supply was born."

KR> Wicks

[David Lininger]

I apologize for sending this to everyone, but my reply to the original 
post didn't go through.

I've only dealt with Wicks once, when I picked up my original purchase 
quite a few years ago. We were on vacation, and included a tour of the 
organ factory (I'm an organist) as well as the purchase of the spruce 
for the boat. We were treated very well, the wood and other items I 
wanted were loaded on and in the car, and all was as specified and of 
excellent quality. That was quite a few years ago, but from what I've 
seen on this list from others, things haven't changed any.

My suggestion to anyone who has a problem, or even a question, would be 
to call then and explain the situation. I suspect that Wicks will do 
everything they can to make sure that they have satisfied customers.

If you go to their home page, http://www.wicks.com/ you will see that 
they now have three divisions, and the aircraft one is at the top, above 
the organs. I wonder if that's where they are making their money these days?

I went to Wicks Tuesday to pick up supplies for my KR but didn't check the 
sack they put stuff in. I opened it yesterday to find that a lot of stuff 
was missing. I called them yesterday afternoon and read off a list of stuff 
missing. They said they would take care of it. Boy did they ever take care 
of it!!  About 4pm this afternoon UPS showed up with my missing stuff!! What 
a company!!! I have never gotten that kind of service from from any other

KR> Wicks vs Aircraft Spruce & Specialty's Service

[Scott William]

On 4/15/06 I purchased the T-88 Redimix gun kit
because it looked like a great way to mix T-88
reliably and easily. I like it and it works great. 

However, when I recently went to purchase replacement
cartridges for it, AS told me they no longer carry
it and I should contact the vendor. WHen I told them I
just paid them $50 for the gun 90 days ago, they had
no reply other than I should contact the vendor. 

I called Wicks Aircraft. They had the cartridges. They
shipped them right out. I called them back and thanked
them and ordered more material for my project. 

Not bad-mouthing anyone here, but service is what
distinguishes one business from another, and based on
the way I was treated by Wicks, I'll be doing business
with them from now on. 

If AS is listening, if I wanted to do business with
the vendor, I would have bought the gun from the
vendor in the first place. 

Anybody here have smilar experiences, or am I just
rushing to judge this company?  

I'll maintain an open mind to all input from the fine
members here.

That is exactly like asking if the ice is thick enough to drive your 
car on.  You need to know lots of things before that question can be 
asked.  It is not possible to design a structure by saying :"that 
looks about right"

[Dan Heath]

This structure is what holds your engine to the plane and handles the
torsional stresses of the engine and tail section and no doubt a whole lot
of other critical functions that I, and probably you, have no clue about.  I
know that there is no way that I would bet everything that my "guess" was
right, no matter what kind of cloth was used.  I find it hard to believe
that the properties of glass and wood are similar enough that they can just
be "swapped" out without some serious engineering and testing.  If you plan
to do that engineering and testing, then you need to choose the cloth to do
it with.

Since it is Friday and very quiet today on the net, I thought I would remind 
all of you that were at the KR Gathering and attended the Wick's Seminar and 
filled out their questionnaire, you have a $15 credit on your account. I had 
actually forgotten this till I placed an order a couple of days ago and they 
told me I had the credit. Just a friendly reminder. There are not a lot of 
suppliers out there who would pay you $15 for filling out a simple form. Thanks

I am amazed how fast Wicks can get stuff out. I put an order in Wed  
morning and got it the next day, except for an order of 5/8 x 5/8 spruce which 
they called to let me know that would take a couple of days as they were temp 
out. At 6:30 pm today the ups guy showed up with the wood. I also like the fact 
that when you have a question about a product they have people who know 
something about the products they are selling. If they don't have an immediate 
answer they do their best to get the answer from their suppliers. I am very 
happy with Wicks!!
