    Well at this point I give up. I can and will find other uses for my spruce, and I have quite a bit of it.. I have done the model plane thing 40 years ago. I know exactly what you want and I have it. I have supplied other aeromodellers and they have been delighted. I have offered you exactly what you have wanted,twice, not a substitute and not even the courtesy af an acknowledgement of the offers.

    I suggest you make the ribs from ebony, the spars out of gidgee, the fuselage formers out of ironbark and the stringers from belah. Then cover it in galvanised iron.

    Thank you for your kind offer,I did not reply directly but did reply to group with this message,

    Thanks for all the kind offers but shipping is the bugbear, I am looking for local supplies that I can pick up.

    In many cases shipping costs more than the item.
    I live 100 kms from sydney NSW Australia (Couridjah)
    And for some strange reason a lot of the stuff I want is in any state but where I live.
