Thanks, Bruce - I'm not sure I can even handle a spar that small without
ham-handedly breaking it. I've made up a set of blades at .013 and am
waiting for a drill so I can drill the spar the way I want.
I really don't understand how so many of you folks manage to handle stuff
so light, though I'm getting a bit better at it. I just put together an
indoor R/C plane for a guy using 1/16" for ribs and that now looks to me
like 2x4's to me.
