Default RE: choosing lite ply...

ORIGINAL: Cherokee Flyer

Lite ply is made of layers of ply and balsa, the other ply is called five ply and has five layers of hardwood with the grain on 90 degree angles. It is also called aircraft grade ply and is much stronger than lite ply. Lite ply should NOT be used in landing gear blocks, wing mounts or firewalls.

Not intending too. I am cutting a Goldberg Extra 300 fuse. Just looking for ways to put the fuse on a diet. I believe it can be done, but the fuse sides would still need to be lite ply.
