I am new to these coroplast/SPAD planes. I think that Canadian gutter pipe is thinner and lighter.
Is that correct? Also........ living in Indy,how do I aquire this "Canandian pipe?? Mail order, or ??? Hope my question is not a ..... "Well DUHHHH question"!!! ...SPAD rookie..lownslo...

Canadian pipe is lighter, but is getting harder and harder to find here in the US. Some Ace Hardware stores still have the American pipe, and I have used it for both .25 and .40 size planes.

These suppliers are listed on www.spadtothebone.com as mail-order sources for Canadian pipe:
Dan Gipe: [email protected] Spad builder from Michigan will mail order Canadian Gutter pipe, cut to your requested lengths. E-mail for prices.

Ken Latem: [email protected] Spad builder from Canada will mail order Canadian Gutter pipe, cut to your requested lengths. E-mail for prices.

canadian's are not funny isn't there pipe more brittle than the other..

Canadian gutter pipe I can get but, Where do you get whiffle bat's from? I seen some at an RC field in Florida but never anywhere else.

"More brittle"? No. But, Canadian pipe isn't as strong as American pipe because of the thinner wall thickness.

Blue Flat Bats can be found here:
