RE: Wanted: Source for strut material for 1/4 scale Vailly L-19 Bird Dog

If you check a real L-19 you will find that the struts are not airfoiled they are more of an oval transitioning to a somewhat rectangular shape at the ends. With this in mind getting bass wood stock and sanding to shape would be better fo a true scale appearance.
Also if you are not too far along in the build compare the elevator outline against a good 3 view, the Valliy 1/5 scale plan profile does not match.
