Default RE: Baby classic pattern planes are here!

Hey, Andy....

Good question.. I just rephrased that on the site. I figured the ' with supplied sheeting' would convey that, but maybe I was wrong ;(They do not come sheeted, and will come stock with 1/16" sheeting, with 1/32" sheeting available on request. Yes it needs to be seemed and cut before sheeting, 4" wide balsa. Too many servo/LG options to pre-sheet.

I switched to 1/16" as stock sheeting due a few comments that 1/32" sheeting can be a pain to work with, having issues at LE and TE if you aren't very careful sanding LE and TE. There just isn't much wood there.

Don,

Got a question. The page says "All wings are sheeted with the supplied 1/32" balsa to keep things light."

Does that mean the wings are sheeted when they arrive, or that you're supplying the 1/32" sheeting?

If the latter, what width? ie, will we need to splice them or are they wide enough to do the full panels?

The Curare interests me.

Thanks.

Andy
